Was her name Dani or Rae Rae and did this happen in a pole barn?
Not good with math, but in 2006 10u should be 16u at least and perhaps throwing 75 ish...?

Oh God here we go. A 10 u throwing 58.
Never mind, there aren't enough smilies
Hey Arto weren't you there that year?
My 10U All Star team (SHB) was in St Louis in 2006, and I remember the talk about the big blonde girl on SA Hitt that threw 58.
We played them and someone was behind the screen with a radar gun.
Her top speed was 55, and our little blonde pitcher's top speed was 53.
Our team had 2 pitchers that threw about 53-54, which is not that common, especially in rec league Nationals.
I remember that SA Hitt kid did throw hard, and I think she was one of those kids that are a head taller than most of the other girls at 10 yrs old.
That being said, I have stopped posting on the 10U speed threads because no one wants to hear that their little future Olympian 10 year old doesn't throw high 50's, and there are very few 10 year old girls that throw in the 50's.
Sure, maybe at a pitching lesson, walking into a pitch, just letting it go as hard as they can, they might hit a high number, but in games, it's usually around mid to high 40's and a few into the 50's.
Moral of the story?
In 2006 in St Louis, in our game vs SA Hitt, our pitcher also threw hard for a 10 year old, but she had also learned to throw a change up by then, and we were still playing on Sunday afternoon.

That seems pretty low. My girl is an 8th grader (14u) and she can hit 60 MPH though her avg fastball is about 57/58.
I have a Jugs Radar Cube that she throws at as well as a Jugs gun, the gun has even given me some 61 and 62 MPH readings
