Pitching and Pitchers Discussion Jennie Finch Pitching Speeds

They forgot to mention she was 5 ft tall at 8 yr old.
That would be interesting to know also. ?What was her height over the other "average" females of the same age.
Leg, arm span sure is a luxury to have.

I don't know how many of you have seen Jennie in person, but all I can say is WOW!!! ?I had the opportunity to talk to her in Williamsport at a camp.
She is tall and long and throws very, very hard. ?She probably was close to 5 feet tall at 8. ?Claims to be 6'1" now, but seems more like 6'4". ?It's amazing. ?She says her fastest has been clocked at 71. ?She is very humble about it and I believe she knows that won't be consistent. ?She and her father are very nice people and will do anything for the girls and their development. ?DD and I brought alot home from this experience.

GO BANDITS!!

GO STINGRAYS!!

My DD played in a Chicago tournament a few years back (14u) where Jennie and her dad were promoting the Finch windmill. I have a picture I took with my DD and Jennie standing side by side. My DD was 13 and about 5'8" at the time, and Jennie was about a head taller than DD. She stood eye to eye with me, so her claim of 6'1" is pretty accurate. What a wonderful young lady! She and her dad were both very humble and gracious. I just wish I would have had more time to chat with them!
