no not really. but you have to think about the 14 year olds' arm...itz not fully develop as those 20 year olds pitchers so throwing a slider could be a big risk for himWho were the PGH Pirates home openers for the last seven years?
I guess it is not too young, but without a good mechanics coach it is quite risk. At that point in your development you should stick with the fastball/change-up combination and work on having solid mechanics and good location.

No, I'm 12 and throw it and I thats where most of my strikeouts come from. Just don't throw it to much!Red Sox AND White Sox World Series Ring?
YES. you're young and don't need a slider. throw a 4 seam fastball, a 2 seam fastball and a changup. thats all a pitcher needs in high school. look at all the young pitchers that have arm problems. develop your arm by throwing fastballs, and learn to locate. keep hitters off balance with the change, and the 2 seamer should give you a pitch with some movement on it.No, I am 17 and started working on mine around 14. Just make sure not to use it to much or it will screw up your arm.
Will Ryan howard and chase utley come out of their early season slumps after yesterdays HRs.?
I'd say yes, but it's split for most people. If you do wanna throw it, be REALLY careful, use it sparingly, and talk to a pitching couch to make sure your mechanics are in check. Since you're young, you could blow out your arm if you're not careful with your pitches and mechanics.So I'd suggest against throwing it. Work on a nasty curve or changeup and that should do the trick. Wait a couple years on the slider.
Why is jackie robinson's legacy so important?
It's not about your age.It's too early to throw any breaking pitch of any type if your growth plates haven't yet closed. That's something that only a doctor can tell, and only after examining the proper medical images of your arm.
Until then, throw your fastball. Learn how to change speeds with it. Learn how to make it move on the way to the plate. And learn how to spot it just so. Anyone can hit a fastball if it's straight, but movement is what makes you a pitcher and not a thrower.
