    As long as you can control your pitches at an average of 60 MPH, you will be successful at that age

    I would say that average 13 year old fastball is mid to high 60s so your right on the dot and possibly a little bit over it. Keep throwing hard.

    Thats good I throw about that on average and I turned 14 two days ago but that fastball isn't worth anything unless you have control and a nice off speed pitch to compliment it.

    13 year old, if you mound is 46 feet and not 60.6 feet like the pros, an average fastball is around 50-55 miles per hour..I highly doubt you throw that fast.. from 60.6 feet I only throw about 72 miles per hour and Im 18 pitching on Highschool Varsity Baseball, I think you better check that radar gun again because theres no way you throw that fast

    The average fastball travels at 95 mph. So if you multiply 13 years(113,955.566 hours) by 95 mph the ball would travel 10,825,778.8 miles in 13 years.

    Thats good for your age. Im 16 now and i throw around 76, but i tend to use my curve ball alot it drops off the table. Keep pitching and you will gradually throw faster, long toss helps alot too. I did that ever other day in the winter. Keep at it.

    When I was 13 I was 5 ft tall and wieghed 90 lbs so I would say your weight should be anywhere from 85-90 lbs. I was very active as a kid, and I ate ate ate all the time, so it all depends on you level of activity, so if you weigh more do not start starving yourself!

    Your pitching good. Maybe mid 70's.But your good at your age.
