62 mile an hour fastball?

Question

I'm turning 12 soon and 58 MPH is my average pitch speed (fastball) but a few times I've been clocked at 62 is this below average, average, or above average. If you think it is below average/average how can I improve

I also throw a 27 mph change-up with an occaisional Palmball

Answer 1

Above Average. I'm turning 14 and In my league most people only pitch high 50's at the most. It is either you are awesome or my league just stinks.

Answer 2

that is pretty good like average i would say

Answer 3

62 is pretty good at 12. if you keep throwing at that velocity, with the factors of age, mound distance, and mound height, the velocity once you get to 18 would be about 94-97 mph. the change will likely be in the 70s, which could be pretty devastating because of the drastic drop in velocity.

Answer 4

average i 10 and throw 50 BUT YOU GET AN ARM WHENN YOU TURN 12

Answer 5

i'm 11 and i can get 65 on a 50 foot mound. It depends on what distance you throw at, and what kind of radar gun you have. some track the slowest speed, when the ball almost reaches the catcher, and others track the fastest, right out of your hand.

Answer 6

well if you're 12 you're not throwing from very far away. You're still in little league right? It's pretty fast but once you get to high school it might not be as fast.

Answer 7

that is pretty much above average i'm 11 and I throw 56 to 58
