Many of you may be moving into the next age group within your organization before Fall ball starts. For current 10U pitchers, that means an increased pitching distance and a bigger ball. 12U pitchers, you’ll also be increasing your pitching distance in your move to 14U. I’ve compiled a list of resources you can use to help ease the transition.
