as a baseball player, this is EXTREMELY impressive. I face 80-90 mph regularly in high school ball, but in softball the mound is much closer and the release makes it basically the equivalent to hitting a 90 mph fastball
Did anyone else flinch when that first foul ball came right at us? Damn I was trying to get out of the way of it but I still got plunked. Lesson learned. You have to have your head on a swivel when watching these videos.
Back when I played softball, I played against this team where I knew the pitcher. Her name is Sierra and her pitches are very fast, maybe 50-60+mph. When we played Softball at the same time, I was always in her team. This one year I wasn’t and my team had to go against her team. I knew her dad because he was the coach of her team. When it was my time to go up and bat, I wasn’t afraid at all. Though I noticed her pitches were very fast and she has improved over the years. Every time, when she pitched I always swung and got a foul ball each time. I really wanted to swing the ball and be able to run and land on 1st base. That didn’t happen because I got out and my team to be honest was pretty terrible. There was this one girl like me who did make very far and good hits. But, when she came in contact with Sierra, she was nervous and couldn’t swing at all. That day we lost to no points. I was upset about it because nobody in my team touched the home base. I was happy though because of her improvements. I quit 3 years ago and till this day she still plays softball. I’m a year younger than her and she’s living the best life!
I can believe that it's 12u. It's very high level though. Batter as well. That was probably the best batter on the team, huh? 60 comes real fast from 40ft away!
Yeah it was 12u but that was 3 years ago now and that was my daughter batting she usually hits fast pitchers but couldn’t catch to the pitcher that time…we played really competitive teams in 12u at the time
@@Michael_jordancoolma shut up seriously think about a softball its harder to throw because it's bigger and your throwing different in baseball you just throw overhand and you guys pitch WAY further away then softball because of that. So because we're so much closer its harder to hit it.Its harder than you think because you have never faced that
At that age most of those kids haven't learned to preload their swing and rather wait for the ball to be released to begin a swinging motion. With this kind of velocity, either they have no chance, or there is a lot of arm swinging if they do hit the ball. This girl is bringing some major smoke.
@@colbymcnally9402 well first, the right weight bat. I’m not the strongest when it comes to upper body, so I had a 20-23 oz bat. 21 was my bat weight for faster pitchers (50-60) and 22-23 for slower (40-50) I also had a bat m-weight that was around 5-10 oz. I’d practice with my dad with a 26 oz end loaded mens Miken bat. He’d pitch 40-50 and swinging that heavy bat built up my strength over time, and once I could hit 50mph on the inside corner, outside, high, low; hitting faster pitching with a 21-22oz evenly weighted bat was pretty easy. I hope this answers your question
So I play 12u softball and I played a girl that pitched in her 60s not to long ago, and it’s hard. Also as a pitcher pitching in my 50s, I can only imagine how long it will take for me to tough near 60. Also I couldn’t even see the ball when she pitched.
as a baseball player in 12u i dont know if this is very difficult because softball is alot different than baseball but i see up to 73 when playing a good team and still hit this seems easier to hit but not as easy to hit it hard if anyone knows please reply and inform me
in 12u baseball the mound is 50 feet away, in 12u softball it is 40 feet. At 60 mph you have .420 seconds reaction time from 40 feet. This is the equivalent of 86.8 mph at the distance the baseball mound is.
i have a girl where i play softball that pitches about 50+ mph, which i guess is still pretty fast. thing is my team can hit off her, but since she also pitches strong and fast the ball goes literally everywhere. good job staying alive though! i wish i could pitch as well as her
People can’t compare Baseball and Softball. Although they are the same at a foundational level, they’re still very different. The biggest difference being the size of the playing area and the delivery of the ball. It’s very rare to see someone talented in either one to switch up and have any sort of success. Now that I’m older outside of the MLB, Men’s Baseball is pretty unheard of in most areas, so I’m stuck with Men’s Softball. Let me tell you…..that ball comes in very different. Everyone is hung up on Velocity, which velocity is whatever. It just comes down to timing. If someone threw 100 MPH straight down the middle every time, you would eventually get it. It’s the movement that makes it hard. A softball is large with large seams and it makes the softball do all sorts of crazy stuff. It also tends to rise since it’s pitched underhand, and it will completely catch you off guard with a lot of velocity on it. Now if you’re seeing baseball players cranking softballs and softball players being struck out by a baseball. That’s because you’re watching men play woman and that’s completely different than comparing the sport itself. Men are just physically bigger, stronger, faster biologically.
im in 12u and im a catcher our fastest pitcher has probably pitched 60 but she is usually like 58 and she is 11 but i dont think we are as good as this team
I pressed on this thanking this was baseball watched the first 10 seconds and was like dang baseballs are easier to see that thing flashed by and I throw 70
Has anyone paid attention to the fact the pitcher does not take a signal or simulate taking one while in contact with pitching plate. She steps onto plate and goes into her pitch. This makes her pitches illegal. I am an umpire with a high rating, I know what I am talking about, she is illegal.
60 is nothing we just left cooperstown n several pitchers were throwing 75 according to their coaches. We literally just had put the bats out there to hit homeruns on 200' feild
The batter has a ver odd stance. Knees together very off balance. She makes her stride more complicated. She can cut down her swing by fixing her stance.
She’s not. It’s probably mid 50’s. 12U is 40 feet from the plate. If she was throwing 60, that ball would get there a lot faster than it is. I know pitchers throwing 60 at 43 feet away and the ball gets there quicker than this.
Softball and baseball are different in alot of aspects, bats and pitching being just a few. Pitches in baseball are over hand, hence why they may be faster.
That’s not rec, that’s definitely travel ball! We play travel and see 55-62 every weekend, not all pitchers throw that hard though, it’s usually @ 50 though
Where are you watching softball at, you see that all the time and high level softball even at 12u. My body his daughter her name is Alyssa Litton last year in 14 years she was clocked at 68 mph.
@@billylykins6031 no record, they're out there you just got to be in the right tournaments playing the right teams teams, the pitcher for BYU, I'm not sure if she's graduated or not her name is arisa Paulson. We faced her from 10 u on, in 10u consistent 60, she was 5 ft 9 at 10 years old. So these speeds do not surprise me at all.
This is one's opinion that it is sixty plus, and may not be a excellent hitter. Sure there are others out there that are capable. Point is just a video of a batter and putcher. Seen 12 u that had girls larger than full grown women and girls play them that looked like little girls. Little girls win so size and speed isn't everything.

60 in softball is high 80s in baseball because of the distance
I love that you are brave enough to post your mistakes but fix them ! ❤️

Valley forge, PA, has a 60mph pitch at the age of 10 when I played against them years ago
Wow at 10yrs of age
When I played U13, I faced 50-60mph, and I had practiced for fast pitching like that, and I have good bat speed, so it really wasn’t that hard.

I go to the cages and my dad has me work on also 60 so I can get used to it, at first I was terrified for the machine but now it’s not so bad.
what field are you playing at. it looks like norwayne high school softball field
I don’t remember it was a couple years ago in Hoover AL
That girl is throwing cheeeeeessseee…I wonder where she’s at now…very impressive
Yeah she was throwing 🔥
Guys it looks faster than it is from the side.
I don't think so

Have to give it to the batter. Getting close fouling off couple.

I'm wondering if she continued to get faster or platued?

I know this is awhile ago but I’m curious what the teams name are
Hot Shots from Tennessee vs Alabama Firecrackers I had traveled from Florida to guess play in Alabama with them
Is the organization hotshots?
Yes
Btw in 12u baseball we face people throwing that every tournament
45ft vs 40ft is a very big difference. And most likely you are playing 50-70

Yep
AND YOU’RE IN POSITION 2?!!!! Girl how
Your doing good
Nice job respect👑❤️🔥
Thanks I appreciate it
If you put it in the lowest speed it still looks pretty fast.
My coach puts it up to 55 mph and it’s pretty hard to hit so good job. Im in 11u btw
Thanks keep practicing at that speed and when you play 12u and 14u you will be killing the ball good luck I’ll be rooting for you 💪🏼🥎
It looks like a really good team
Yep… Back then they were one of the top 12u teams in the US
I was like wym it’s too easy and then I realized it’s softball
The first pitch one it was a change but I was like what I thought that was a fastball
She turned it up throughout the game
Relying too much on speed, needs to relax her body and spin the ball more. Were the last two pitches rises?
Don’t remember it was a while ago lol

Are we talking about the picture throwing good or the catcher am I right
