Overhand throwing velocity. What is the highest you have ever seen recorded?

[Vertigo]

Can I call EI now and complain she’s not ranked too? Or are there other criteria for that?

Just make sure you have deep pockets.

Go for it and report back. We need a mole to get to the bottom of this pay for rank scheme..

I think they swear these people to secrecy, and they need to sign a pledge not to reveal their secrets.

Does the default -5 MPH minimum rule apply to parents talking about overhand velo the same as it applies to pitcher parents?

10 is the new 5

I already posted about him this week. Only one Bo reference per week is allowed..

Is this a rule? This shouldn't be a rule. Bo Jackson appreciation should be a daily occurrence.

I thought I read it somewhere in the by-laws..it was right next to the “increase your DD’s pitching velocity by 5 mph” and “kids who are good when they are young suck when they are older” rules

Here is a thread from 2016 on throwing velocity:

Overhand throw speed

Can anyone enlighten me on how this is tested? Is it from a certain distance, or would a SS get measured differently than a CF? Thanks BD

Found an NFCA document from 2011 that says the top 10pct of D1 players throw >=61.9mph

7. Throwing Velocity measured by the use of a radar gun
The athlete makes a maximum of five overhand throws with a regulation softball, on flat ground. No shuffle, crow hop, or running start is allowed. The distance the ball is thrown is irrelevant because the radar gun measures ball velocity within the first few feet of release. Maximum throwing velocity is recorded in mph. Average overhand throwing velocity for high school softball is approximately 48 mph; NCAA softball is approximately 57 mph.

At the Wasserman clinic the other week the typical top throwing speed was 57-58, but they were allowed to do a shuffle step to gain momentum.

How about Bob Feller? We could recreate the motorcycle test..You saw him pitch live right?




Is that you @LEsoftballdad riding the motorcycle? Where you get the cop uniform from?


Ok I am done..

The music from that era was fantastic.

And, Ohhhh!! The penmanship!!!!........

The numbers in the mid to high 60’s and 70’s (maybe?) are probably mostly taken when the kids are allowed to shuffle,crow hop,etc. My 2028 has an average arm and she was able to muster 61 with a shuffle.

and who might this fundamentally sound SS be? You don't have to work your kid into every single post..

You’re right it’s obnoxious sometimes we lose sight and need it pointed out lol.
