Ken you'd be surprised at the scary good off-speed stuff that 11/12/13 year olds have in their arsenals nowadays.

Travel ball starts around here now at 8U and by the time they are 10 they pretty much play year round so they are developing skills at 10-12 that nobody even thought of teaching until High School years ago. In the last 5 years the travel leagues have pretty much gutted the local park district/little league/youth recreational leagues of any reasonable talent around here. Not saying that is a bad thing but it is what is happening.

Now back to the original topic of the thread........
