Transitioning to 12u from 10u as a pitcher.
I’m curious what kind of growth people have seen in this age group over their daughter’s first year and by end of second year in terms of velocity.
My daughter is still 10 and has a late August birthday. Her peak velo in 10u was 49mph. Our season ended a few weeks ago, so she just made the transition to a 12” ball for first time at pitching practice tonight. Her velo was around 45mph with the larger ball.
She wants to play at a highly competitive environment with a premier team, which I am concerned will burn her out at 11 years old. I’m not sure what expectations are like for a first year 12u group and what to expect as far as growth over the year. Anyone care to share their experiences transitioning into 12 as a pitcher. How it started and how it ended. Thank you.
