re: 12 year old pitcher throwing 80 mph

Also suggesting they have to wait to 14 is stupid what if they are very talented and have high goals? Should they just get shellacked because every hitter sits on fastball every time until steelersdawg says ok you can throw 3 curves a game now until you’re 25

Personally I think the splitter is vastly underrated and under thought to youths. It’s made a major comeback in mlb because they learn it in the minors. I was a mid pitcher but used a splitter and it made me a lot better, it also doesn’t have really any violent jerk like breaking pitches unless it’s an altered version
