Maybe a knuckle curve at 13. Personally I don't think I'd have my own kid throwing a curve at that age.

If you throw a curve ball the right way it doesn’t hurt the arm anymore than a fastball
Im not saying you are wrong or calling you a liar, but I strongly disagree with this. You take a kid that throws 50 fastballs and another kid that throws 50 curveballs repeatedly in games at a young age and see which one has arm trouble. Ive seen it several times.

and my answer to the question is high school if they are throwing consistantly.

My son threw a 12-6 curve very effectively at age 12.
He went on to play D1 baseball as a pitcher.
So if thrown correctly I think 13 is ok.
But it probably varies from kid to kid.

Please explain how changing grip and keeping arm angle the same or possibly slightly different makes any difference.
