  • @oilersman75. Try putting a little more pressure on ur index finger, it worked for me and it also puts more spin on the ball

  • @klingfreek13 you're 13, you're not a star, you probably can't throw half of the pitches you named, and you can maybe hit 40 mph. Go drop your balls, don't act so cool on the internet.

  • oh yeah 97Rockerdude i know a kid who just turned 12 and he throws... 72 miles an hour he has struck me out and i dont strike out

  • Ed Goodson (former ML Giants player) told me that you should be concerned at the 12-14 year old range with accuracy and only accuracy. I see alot of HS players later on who can throw 80 mph - who couldn't hit a strike zone to save their mother. Pound the mitt - throws strikes and make your defense make plays. Thats the Greg Maddux method.

    My kid CAN throw breaking pitches - I just don't let him unless strategically it makes sense. I much rather him throw strikes and learn control.

  • I love how some of these kids are telling lies about how good they are

  • I am 12 years old and i can throw a fastball in the high 60's.I also can throw a nasty slurve and am getting good at my 12-6. I've learned that when the 12-6 is thrown right the ball drops and the batter swings over the top of the ball which is effective on a 0-2 count

  • im 13 and i can pitch 70mph. i throw a 2 seam 4 seam circle change splitter and a untouchable curveball. if i master the 12-6 i would be a star can i get tips

  • im 13 i threw a 75mph fastball from a 60ft mound i can throw a 4sfb 2sfb circle change slider and a fastball cut. ive broke my elbow when i wus in majors and i broke my shoulder last year
