Curious as to the average speeds your pitchers throw by age group
what should be expected at the plate not the release. I have 2 9yr olds and they are in the high 30's low 40's
10U?
12U?
14U?

Second year 10u: good pitchers are throwing 50+ mph; "average" velocity is less.
First year 12U: low 50s.
Second year 12u: Mid 50s; good pitchers will be in the high 50s and hitting the low 60s by nationals.
First year 14U: Mid 50s to low 60s.
Second year 14U: most are in the high 50s or low 60s.
