i know location off-speed and breaking balls. people say be a pitcher not a thrower. just that phrase says it all. thanks man

That is above average for sure. Word of warning. LEARN TO PITCH! Avoid the temptation of blowing it by everyone... It will make you a lazy pitcher and when you do get older, any decent player can hit a 90MPH fastball. A curve WILL NOT mess your arm up if you throw it right. Most kids hurt their arms from overuse and improper mechanics. Get a good pitching coach and hold yourself to pitch counts even if your coach doesn't. Those two things will save your arm!

Thats pretty good but try to work on a breaking ball. I can pitch about that fast, and it really fools hitters when you go from a big 75 mph fastall to a breaking 65 mph changeup.

I laughed so hard at this one

newbaberuth (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

well yeah of course. i have a nice splitter, my change-up is incredible, i'm learning to throw a slider. i have a curve but i barely use it because it put too much stress on my arm and i got tendonitus(i don't know how to spell it). i have great accuracy. i just wanted to know if i will at least reach 90 mph when i'm older. i'm gonna start playing 60 feet mound and 90 ft bases next season.

speed is not as important as hitting the different points of the strike zone. Work on accuracy and learn to vary your speed with fastballs and change ups.

dude your 13 and throwing like that. What you need to do is focus on changing speeds and locations and picking up maybe a slider or change-up. Dont waste your time with a curve. it will only screw your arm up to the point you wont even make it on your high school team. just focus on what i told you and dont worry about speed. some of the best pitchers in baseball never threw past 90-93 miles an hour.
