Reply to ""Shutting Down the Arm""

What works for one may or may not work for another. My '18 son learned to say no to a lot of people and opportunities. In the end, the missed opportunities.....(Scout ball, Ft Myers, AZ).....he'll never know what they were and they don't matter.

He played one season of fall ball freshman year.  Sophomore year, shut down in Oct after doing a couple camps, trained for HS start in March.  Junior year, first time he was really clocked (we really seen it as good velocity and never really cared about the mph)....... 86-90, which garnered very little interest. He decided at that point 90 was not good enough. He shut down in August, worked out and prepared for HS spring, came out 89-93.......That's what it took to bring them out........no instate schools ever surfaced, coincidentally the instate schools were the only camps he attended in the past.

He shut down in August, works out daily, currently gained 11lbs of lean muscle, works with an athletic trainer on mobility and will start arm care/pitching program the first week of November, ramping up to February. To be continued..........

Time off has paid him back well. It comes down to doing your own thing to improve or following the pack and having less time to get it done. JMO
