At 70 MPH, I Wished I Threw Like A Girl

For Davis, who turned 13 two months ago, her physical gifts are apparent every time she delivers a pitch. At 5 feet 4 inches, Davis is more than 3 inches taller than the average 12-year-old boy. In fact, her height would put her in the 50th percentile of 18-year-old women. Being tall and lean for her age allows her to generate additional velocity on her pitches.
