oh and if velo is the #1 factor across all age groups on determining batting avg against, runs scored against and hard hit avg against........why the hell would you not want to work it and improve it?
I see where you're going and you're not wrong, but a lot of times these guys can throw 99-100 but have no idea where it's going. This is why I have said twice before that actually learning how to locate and pitch is more important than being able to throw it through a brick wall. If you are able to do both, then that's optimal.

Ogea played Mid-City little league at Huber Park.
That's right they were purple and gold, SLC wore navy and red.

but the much much much bigger problem is lack of muscle and strength compared to previous generations
Agreed.

maybe the problem isnt as simple as overuse and we should stop screaming that. maybe its underuse and being under prepared for the demands of the game situations. Got kids cant do a pull up going out and throwing with all out intent....that is a problem. got kids that cant do 5 proper pushups at 12 getting on the bump.
kids need to throw more i.e. long toss more and need to on ramp slower to high intent throwing
Agreed.

It is not uncommon for an early maturer to dominate baseball. Our city, back in the day, had a set of twins that were shaving at 12 years old. Yeah, the dominated baseball and beat me and my friend out at the city wide pitch, run, and throw competition. But, they didn't grow much after that and we all passed them up by 16.
Bottom line, sometimes its just the stroke of luck that leagues get 2-3 of these type of 12 year olds on their team and can go play in national championship tournaments etc.
