This is pre-season poll the cream will rise to the top
Ms Alvelo has been proving people wrong for years on speed , many folk think just because they have not seen it before means it doesn't exist. It's hard to imagine but 7th graders do throw 60-61MH. Not many and Not every pitch, but they can crank it up. sometimes even people with lots of post don't get it. MD
I know what your talking about... Ive been hearing about 12-u girls throwing 60 for a few years now. But only have witnessed it on a couple occasions. Ive however seen the 7th grader that throws 60, saw her last night as a matter fact. From Bloom Carroll....She was dominate. Kids seem to be bigger, faster , and stronger now....Alot of these girls have been pitching since they were 8yrs old. The game of softball has really changed over the years.
I do agree, that talent is getting better simply because in SOME areas ATHLETES are playing softball instead of ******/Basketball/Volleyball or whatever else steals the most athletic girls. Frankly, Softball has had lesser athletes then the other sports due to it's late arrival relative to the other sports, but SLOWLY in SOME areas ATHLETES are starting to play it at young ages and sticking with it, and in those scenarios, girls getting faster at earlier ages is understandable. Still don't believe Jasbo77 and not that he's not telling the truth, but there were only a handfull at Queen Of Diamonds last winter that surpassed the 60 mark and those are girls that are fully mature physically. Are there more kids at the TOP level of talent in the younger age groups. SURE. Are they throwing 60+ in droves. NO WAY. ^_^!

Was this thread about the 12U coaches poll or about pitchers' speed? The 12U scene seems to be off to a fairly "chippy" start I'd say.
there are a few select topics that cause an instant derail.
- Pitching Speeds (10U and 12U)
- BigTrain
- Riseball (we all know it doesn't really rise)
Maybe on next weeks poll we can talk about the Riseball, Lol.............
maybe this BigTrain should vote?Or which teams listed in the top 10 for 12U have girls that see BigTrain as a hitting coach

p.s. ORANGE is a "national" contender this year. Definitely a top 7 team.
You hit the nail right on the head, Can't wait to see how we fair against all these good teams. hopefully all our hard work through the winter will pay off. We play our first friendly May 15th-16th with the Lasers and a few other good teams. Should definitely see where we need to improve.
