Can 9-Year Olds Throw a Baseball 45 MPH?

[@heat2546]

[@gooeyyy5556]

[@nickbloomston4658]

LOL

[@wadeburton9559]

This comment takes the W 😂😂

[@daniwaren4149]

agreed

[@ErichLRuehs]

Is everyone in this clip totally insane? EVERYONE 9-years-old throws around 40-45 miles per hour! And, how big of a total A-Hole is the announcer?! He said about the shortstop, "He's no ringer" after the kid made a great play and threw the ball high to the first baseman. First off, the kid made a GREAT fielding play. Second, don't put down children you dump (blank!)

[@JohnDoe-nk1dd]

Our pitcher on my Minor B team back around 1988...our 8 year old pitcher had a 60 mph fastball. He had a few no hitters, plenty of scoreless games and was the winningest pitcher in the state of Alabama in 1998 I believe. His fastball topped out close to 90 mph his senior year. I figured he should have been throwing mid 90s.

[@danlasson333]

40 mph is slow for a 9 year old. This story makes no sense!

[@mattunderwood1112]

+Dan Lasson Exactly. There were at least a dozen pitchers in 9U in the Bay Area, CA who throw over 50. 45 was average and pretty much batting practice for the better teams. Hell, we had two and we saw a team that had 4 kids hit 50.

[@danlasson333]

+Matt Underwood My 8 year old just got radared last night. 45mph.

[@danlasson333]

+Kenneth Behnken why do you ask?

[@danlasson333]

+Matt Underwood my son has lessons at a local place their top speed at 9 was 55 mph.

[@bentaylor3579]

+Dan Lasson My boy just turned seven and hit 51mph on Sunday. I am scared he throws too hard for his own good. He is 80lbs and really muscular which adds to the worry. I don't know if these young arms are capable in holding up with all of that torque.

[@elephantisland695]

[@codycooksey8365]

I'm 9 60mph

[@sniper4assassin293]

+War Master99 no ya don't

[@jeremyshwarber]

+War Master99 I'm 12 and my fastball is barely past 60 it's almost I possible for a 9 year old to throw 60 :/ Unless your on juice / steroids and also Do you throw any other pitches just wondering for your age it would be interesting

[@bhsneaks6957]

no

[@sportsdude6653]

+Tyler McClain I'm nine And I can throw 63 when my arm is warm

[@tourettehero]

I was kicked out of a league at 8/9. I moved up in division. I was planned for scholarship at 12 (pre scholarship which means unofficial or under terms not yet acquired). It was a blessing.

[@RobHalde511]

I'm more concerned why these 7-8 year olds have youtube accounts lol

[@jonathanblackerby4855]

I'm still wondering what steroids the 9 yr olds are on pitching 60 and all

[@APSULeit]

geesh I threw 52 when I was 9

[@zk8706]

[@dylanmejia17]

[@franciscoandujar1322]

Andy L he said that he throws 65 and his 11 tears

[@isaack7401]

and he even said that "all kids seem to pitch 40 mph"

[@randomdude4117]

The pitcher from CT was killed in a drive by shooting a couple years ago. I hope it was worth it to those coaches. RIP Jhericho.

[@TheWedgieCraft99]

no suprise, i threw about 50 mph when i was 9 or 10...

[@baseballcoach9163]

I know this is old but I remember seeing a 9 Year old throwing 60 MPH I was standing behind the radar gun and can remember his name when and where. He now plays for the University of GA.

[@JaydonTobler]

Kids... dude i was pitching to some kids recently at full speed (i'm 19 and been out of baseball for years) and they were completely terrified of how fast it was. they asked how hard i throw.. ("75? 80? No, almost looks like 90?"). In reality i told them i only throw about 65 and it made them realize that they really don't throw as hard as they think they do. I can promise you kids, you definitely do not throw 75 mph before age 14 with no workout schedule. It just doesn't happen.

[@justinbunch5019]

Thank u so much yur my Jesus!

[@Boohooyoumad12345]

I'm 13 and I play travel in Michigan and I practice 3-4 days a week and work out my arms and I top 70. I couldn't get up right now and throw that, but after I'm warmed up I can top out 70

[@hannahthomas1269]

I'm 11 years old, and I'm a starting pitcher on the Boston Red Sox. I throw 9,876 miles per hour and I'm batting .989, and slugging 1 million.

[@johncenabr8338]

[@ryderbrill4305]

[@itzkinggamer5366]

Hannah Thomas I know a 10 year old that can pitch 51

[@jmhalter8194]

They don't realize how slow 40mph is

[@tristonwatson2928]

Why are they making a big deal about it? I topped out at 54 at 9

[@eddyplays5221]

Same

[@fatherrussia4152]

i did about 103.....centimeters

[@shawnquestad]

I was topped out at 59mph when i was 9 and i beat out all of the 12 yr olds

[@Rusty_OC]

I was topped out at 101 at age 3

[@dimitribianconi9441]

I'm 10 and my pitch speed is 50 -65 mph

[@colton.421]

Im 69 and i can throw a 420 mph pitch EDIT: after 11 months people are still replying to this comment and saying how stupid i am because its obvious that nobody can throw that fast. It should be obvious that I'm being sarcastic. Jesus i wish people would get some common sense...

[@loganschaefer7255]

you realize not even an MLB pitcher can throw that fast?

[@boneshow00]

jesus christ thse comments are cancer, its all a bunch of little kids bragging how hard they throw.. first of all i doubt they even got clocked.. second of all they're pretty much all lying, third they think they're hot shit cause they're like 12 and throw 60, yeah you throw 60 mph from like 46-50 feet away. you shouldn't brag about how hard you throw until you get 60/90 baseball. and honestly not until highschool.

[@thelonewanderer4620]

Ain't Clownin Around actually not true piece of shit

[@boneshow00]

TheLoneWanderer yes it is buddy. obviously you are like 10 and havent moved up to 60/90 yet. just cause you're mom signed you up for little league does not mean you are important. before you call me a piece of shit, you should remember you're 10. no one really gives a shit about you.

I'm 14 and when I was 9 or 10 years old, and when I was playing machine we were hitting 60, 65, 70 Mph and hit it very well if someone can throw 40 then they shouldn't be kicked off the team

[@matthewdec393]

I remember when I was 10 our rec department made a 9 year old play up, and he was on my team. We went to a summer camp at minor league teams park and he got clocked at 59 at 9'years old. He pitches in college now and throws in the mid 90's.

[@Ben-ed6pe]

When I was nine 45 MPH was my basically a change up for me and my fastball was around the high 50's. I'm 11 now and when I measured my fastball on a radar gun it hit 70 at max.

[@jt01212]

Sadly, the kid was killed in a drive-by shooting a few years ago.

[@psnsip420]

My son is 6, playing pitching machine with 7, 8 year olds this year. He throws this gas already.

[@KINGBABOONMOTORS]

R.I.P JERICHO SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!! He died last year April 2015 in New Haven from gun violence. Sad to hear

[@sportsdude6653]

Ok it makes me mad that they are questioning that a nine year old can throw 45 mph. When I can throw 55mph when I'm nine

[@austinchampion4041]

BRUH! 13-15 year olds be throwing 50-70. I'm dead ass!

[@kgroup6372]

[@danielwaters1222]

That radar gun definitely looked juiced as I do not believe any of those pitchers were throwing 40 mph.

[@rileymarcotte2326]

I'm 11 and pitch consistently around high 50s and I topped out once at 67 at a mound 46 ft away in a travelball tournament (no I'm not lying)

[@NickWeaver5]

This video should be called,"Can 9 yr olds hit their strike zone

[@jhfo-o3594]

All of the people saying that when they were like 9 or something and they threw 50, that's false. I play 12u and the average pitch is 60, I pitch 65.

[@eastcoastandloveit3857]

At least the kid is getting active . A lot of kids can't put down a device or video game. That league should be ashamed . How do they think that feels now ,probably doesn't want to play again. Just because a kid is better than other kids doesn't mean they should not play.

[@profx029]

What's that catchers gear it's falling off

[@owenoli10]

45? In my sons 9u league he was clocked at 45-48. We had another kid reach 50 in practice. Our average pitcher is between 42-45.

[@Mridur-v5k2.0]

Yo Gianni I searched up Elevate and I scrolled down to awards and you were in the very top!!! Your stats are crazy

[@Wundo1do]

when I was 9 I threw 50 and it was not that slow, it actually went in a straight line. plus I wasn't even the fastest​ pitcher in the league

[@torpeter21]

I never threw really hard when I pitched but when I was 9 I pitched 3 innings and had 9 strike outs.

[@johngaster7671]

I have 2 children 9 and 10 that play baseball and my 9 year old averages about 45 to 47 and the ten year old average around 48 . Some of the 10 year old pictures average about 50. It sounds like to me someone got butt hurt in the games that won’t let that nine year old pitch. It comes down to some players are train more and want to play baseball while some is just there because there parents play once. some just show up at practice to practice and don’t practice at home.

[@getwreck]

RIP Jericho Scott....

[@maxb.383]

When I was 9 I played with the 10 year olds so I was hitting off of 50+ mph pitchers. Now I'm older, it's nothing

[@dillonmueller2165]

Is a 79mph Fastball normal for a 15 yr old??

[@siinema.]

The comments are just a bunch of kids saying "I'm 12 and throw 60 MPH" he's 9, smh😂

[@MrHorrorble]

The arc of the ball from the pitcher is pretty steep. A 45 mph pitch from the Iron Mike machine at our cages doesn't have that much arc. Maybe it's just a perception difference? . Last Spring there was a 9 yr old girl who was throwing consistently between 50-53 mph from 38' away off a 4" high mound. She had one of the 3 fastest velocities in that division & went on to play All-Stars. My own 9 yr old throws in & around the zone, but probably closer to 38 mph... oh well... Those kids look younger than 9...closer to 7.

[@itzfarkle6446]

I throw 60mph, I'm 12. Most kids through 50-60, I get hit all the time and they don't kick the pitcher out.

[@jamesoliver6625]

My grandson, at 9 years 6 months, was radar clocked at 57. Two months later in practice the hard guess by coaches who had caught him and kids that had hit against him was that he was breaking 60. He's pretty accurate and has struck out four batters in 15 pitches before. If you crowd his plate, if you get hit, that's your problem is the attitude.

[@romanempire705]

I don’t care how old you are, if you can’t hit 40 mph, you don’t deserve to play baseball. And suspending a player because he’s too good should be a crime. Snowflakes.
