My glove sounds exactly like that, but my dd doesn’t bring it in the 60-70mph range...much less, actually. She’s a 14u player, playing for a very reputable org.
Pitchers must loss a lot of speed as they age, IDK?
BTW, get ready for the FSU and LSU calls. If I were you, I would purchase a Nokona, spend as much as you want, you won’t be paying for college.

Pitchers must lose a lot of speed as they age, IDK? This is the third time this fall I have heard of a 12u pitcher hitting 60+mph. I’m not sure where they all go after 12u because by 14u they all look like they are throwing the exact same speed...and I was just in Chattanooga two weeks ago watching my dd’s 14u team.

Wow.... Where do I start with this?
With the response you left i'm guessing that you are one of the favorite posters on this forum
. I will try to reply to your post as you typed it.
So with that being said I would like to congratulate your daughter on making it on a team in a very reputable organization. My daughter also plays for a very reputable organization.
From my experience most pitchers don't lose speed as they age unless there is an injury. This is where reading comprehension comes in handy. I never once said that a 12u girl was pitching 60+ I actually posted a second time stating that they were older pitchers(please re-read). What I did say was that MY DD
is 12U, an 06' to be exact was catching girls throwing in the 60's.
I'm sure there are fast pitchers in 14u. Here is a girl throwing in the mid 60's and shes 14u. If your DD reputable org plays in reputable tournaments i'm sure you will see her team there.
I hope she gets offers from schools like FSU and LSU but that's not why we do this. We do it for the love of the game and if that ever changes she can walk away if she wants.
Now this is where you finally decide to give the advise I was asking for. The Nakona is a very nice mitt and i'm still considering it.
With the last statement you made I figured that you already knew....... If I saved all of the money from the training, team fees, travel cost, ...ect I could pay for college and not worry about a scholarship.
On a side note she does train with girls that have offers as sophomore in high school like this young lady. She can bring it and she can spin the ball.
I love this one because this is my 11 daughter catching a young lady throwing around 60 while shes balancing on a BOSU ball.
Good luck this year!!
