re: 12 year old pitcher throwing 80 mph

I played against and with a kid who was throwing 80-82 and a 12 year old. He was almost un-hittable. But he was still throwing 84-85 at 18.

Played against one of these kids as well. He wasn't a great pitcher, he just hit puberty earlier than most of us did and was a LOT bigger than the rest of us when we were all 12-13.
