> A couple years ago i saw one kid from maryland or virginia who threw about 75 MPH and that translated to about 115 or something like that if it was at major league distance for reaction time. But that kid was 12 i would say 63 is pretty fast for a ten year old.

Translate? 75mph is 75mph. This reminds me of women's Olympic softball pitching from 42 feet where TV announcers are always "translating" their weenie pitching speeds (about 65-70mph) into more impressive mens speeds.
