10U ????

[MoeFoes]

Pitchers are great and all, but enough about the MPH already!!! Just unzip'em boys and get it over with...

Who's has an awesome lookin DEFENSE out there??? I've seen some really good pitching and catching, but whats supporting these girls??? Good hitting teams WILL hit good pitching!!! Which 10u teams have the defense to shut down the "good" hitting teams???

Athletics 10U has great defense. Victory & Franchise also have very good defense.

[UPTHE MIDDLE]

Any updates from the CRUNCH friendly this weekend? Think there were some pretty good teams there this weekend>>>>

[T-Baller]

Impressed with AA, Crunch and Victory defense. Not a lot of errors. Desperados has strong defense too. The teams that can back their good pitchers with a strong defense do very well.

[J.D.]

April 5th Friendly is now full.

Teams confirmed:

Desperados
American Athletics
Minor's Gold
Victory USA
Dynasty
So Cal Crunch
Aztecs
Cerritos Franchise

Looks like a number of the "top 10u" teams will be at the friendly hosted by Cerritos Franchise. It'll be very interesting to see who Franchise chooses to play and when!!! Also which teams they pair up to play!!! It is "just" a friendly, but I'll enjoy watching these teams play!!!

I see the same 10 or 12 teams from 10U on here day after day after day......I can't speak for other areas but I would guess that from all 10 or 12 teams combined......MAYBE 4 or 5 GIRLS TOTAL THAT THROW A LEGITIMATE 50 MPH......That is how it was when I was in 10's for the last 2 years....

Not that it means crap because it doesn't mean a thing.....Legitimate 50 is in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th inning....That's how we check it anyways....Not just once either, multiple times consistently.....THAT IS YOUR TOP SPEED.....Not how fast you can throw one time on a full nights rest with a big breakfast and 10 MPH breeze blowing towards the catcher.....

Does anyone in 10u know anything about Foothill Fury or Inferno?

Fury out of Claremont. All 98's Good pitching, sticks & defense are fair. Good catcher. But this info could be void by now the way players a jumping ship as of late.

Good is relative. Are they one of those travel teams that will go back to rec at the end of the month? What's good pitching? Low 50's with movement?

As far as I know they are out of Claremont rec. Good pitching few walks, good location, keeps the ball down, speed I would say around the mid to low 40's. 50's... I havent seen anyone in 10's hit the 50 mark with control. The fastest I have seen with control was 47-49. But once they hit 50+ they start loading the bases and beating up the backstop. Slow on the bags....
Thats if they are still carring the same players....

The parents may think they throw 50. But the radar gun disagrees. Plus parents round up. Only 4 of the top 10 teams have 1 pitcher that can hit that 50 mark on occasion. But with very little control. They're a few that hit 46-48 and really keep ball down & hit their spots.

Then I don't know what teams you are facing.... I would say all of the top have at least 1 that can throw AT LEAST 50......

If you are facing girls throwing 50+ with great control in 10U... Check the Birth Certificates... Look for facial hair, acne, these are all signs of steroids. Or have the parent take off the DD goggles

Moefoes - doesn't your team have a pitcher throwing 50+?? You seem to know alot about the 10's.

[T-Baller]

At any age - throwing hard is great but you must have good rotation on the ball - any out there in 10U? The one's I've seen are that Crunch pitcher (Dora as in the explorer?) -headband and glasses, the Victory pitcher - (tall blond girl) and the girl who left Franchise (brown hair - two pony tails).
