All of my sons are baseball pitchers. I am on the third and last son. Zach will turn 16 in late January. He can throw 86-87 mph, but he consistently stays at 85 mph. He is hoping to pass the 90 mph mark during his sophomore season. I agree with the guy that said once you reach 80 mph it gets more difficult. One important thing, velocity is important, but having a good off-speed is just as important.

Sounds like my son as well, he has the same goal but I told him he has to work his butt off at the minimum, the rest is God given. Nothing wrong with a lofty goal by a kid, I am there to give him some doses of reality.
