I am wondering what is considered a good/great base running speed for fastpitch? I am very curious about all ages and what coaches would look for as a necessary minimum speed and what sort of speed is considered "great".
If you can get to first under 3seconds your "quick". My lefty 13 year old fastest time is 2.25 and that was moooving. Best thing was the move to the left side.
Fixed thanks, fat fingers have been hit too many times with the hammer.
If you can get to first under 12 seconds your "quick". My lefty 13 year old fastest time is 11.25 and that was moooving. Best thing was the move to the left side.
If you can get to first under 2.7 you're very quick. If you are in the 2.5-2.6 range you'll get the interest of college coaches as speed is the one skill they cannot teach to recruits. They can refine it some but if you arn't fast to begin with odds are you won't improve to any large degree.

This season we had three girls that were about even, and all under 2.75. All three run track as well. I just cant get her to try to slap, bunt or any small ball. She is always swinging for the fences.

Maybe they were talking about the parents running times or even the coaches. I have seen LadyKnights get off his bucket and head to the third base coaching box and the times are not to good..........even when he's winning

I would challenge either one of you to a foot race of the bases.;& My HS and travel girls have tried many times thinking the old chubby coach is a push over, but I can still pick them up and put them down. They just don't understand till I show them the track records hanging on the wall.:yahoo:
