What is the average pitch speed of high school pitchers and the average speed of college pitchers?

Answer
Hello Debbie

This would be typical average pitching speeds expected however there's always exceptions. For example I've seen 12U girls with pitching MPH speeds in the 60's

10-Under Typical 37-41 MPH Top Pitchers 43-46
12-Under Typical 44-47 MPH Top Pitchers 50-53
14-Under Typical 46-49 MPH Top Pitchers 52-55
16-Under Typical 50-53 MPH Top Pitchers 54-57
18-Under Typical 53-56 MPH Top Pitchers 58-61
College Typical 59-64 MPH Top Pitchers 65-72
