And the mound is only 46 feet. Looked at a conversion chart and that is like facing 96mph gas in the MLB. An 11 year old doesn't have the muscle to move their bat fast enough to hit that. No wonder this kid has given up like 1 hit in the entire tournament (if my memory serves me).
It ain't just the fastball. Kids playing there can time it. It's that flippin slider too. Of course Ohio and Michigan ruined everything and beat south Dakota and Hawaii yesterday.
And all their pitchers are primed for a deep playoff run. They never really get too high in the pitch count, with only woodruff breaking 100 with any real recurrence. And they lead the league in 5 day rests between starts.
Brewers better hope they can ride that pitching because their offense is by far the worst of the playoffs teams in the NL.
