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.

need to hire an agentComment -
Otters, why are you radar gunning a 7 year old?Comment -

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 real slow actually
Otter he is garbage
any real good kid 75 or soComment -
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 armthat is really fast for that age.

Speed doesn't mean much if you cant locate a pitch.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 -

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
Great question
