My nephew just threw 42-44 mph on a radar gun. He wasn't pitching on the mound but took a crow hop to do it. My question is what is the average for kids this age. My cousin is raising him as a single mom and uses me to be his coach.

Otters, why are you radar gunning a 7 year old?Comment -

I was using it to show him the difference in throwing speed when you use your whole body as opposed to just armOriginally posted by DiggityDaggityDoComment -
otto did you sign him yet
he is young you can prob talk him into triple what agents normally getComment -
35-45 should be the norm at that age group.Comment -

that is really fast for that age.
a pretty good fastball for a 11-12 year is 60-65
top little league world series types will be throwing 70-75
that's like a 100 mph fastball from that distance, a kid throwing that hard will have a decent amount of no hitters in a typical small town league.
big difference in 8-9 year old development and an 11-12
if that boy grows right, he could be in the 60-70 range in a few years

OK makes sense. he is still in coach pitch so never pitched. He is very wild but has a good armOriginally posted by Chi_archiethat is really fast for that age.

That can be the name of your sauce: "Not just throwing anything out there"Originally posted by DiggityDaggityDoComment -
Speed doesn't mean much if you cant locate a pitch.Comment -

Granted the reason they have coach pitch is to prevent 1000 walks, but if you actually want to teach him to pitch never bring the radar gun again and just work on mechanics and throwing strikes.Comment -
Don't let him throw anything but a fastball until about age 16.Comment -
put a football in his hand, tell him to not throw it like a baseball, no tj to worry about
plus he'll get way more ass playing fbComment -
He should be popping 48-52mph to legitimately be looking for early scholarships , by 12 , if he's hitting 68-72 , you'll need to sign him on a contract , he will be the next Nolan Ryan .
I would advice you waking him up daily , around 5 am , get him some pitching reps in .
Also note drunkhorseplayer , he is right , these coaches are destroying kids trying to get them throwing 3-4 different pitches while not even at puberty yet , fastball and location is key for now . Every time he misses his spot , it's Sprint time , keeps him in tip top shape also .
If you need details on how to manage , oversee contracts as an agent , contact LaVar Ball , he is excellent , should be able to lead you in the right direction .Comment -
Otto if u have any balls u will do this like Marv Marinovich
We got your back just don't mess it upComment -
They throw at least 42-44 mph. Heard someone's nephew just threw that on a radar gun.Comment -
nice referenceOriginally posted by CWD
psu podcast guy just did a topic on "recruiting dads"....that's a classic name, he wasn't going to name any recent names cause he's a stand up guy, but couldn't help himself at naming ricky town's dad (who was the #1 qb and has been to about 5 schools)Comment -
means nothing Otter
Some kids more mature at a very young age and never even make a HS team
Talk to me when he is 16 or so and dominating HS other than that a waste
Every parent thinks their kid is great and 96% are whore shit
Otter your a gambler man not a scoutComment -
99.9 and dominating hs barely means anything
my little hick school won state cause of the #1 pitcher and #2 was good enough to hold serve, #1's arm was blew out and didnt even go to collegeComment
