Reply to "year to year velocity progression"

Young HS Freshman 14U 5'11" 165lbs Lefty

I have never clocked him and I am not aware of anyone on his travel team clocking him (with the exception of LY tryouts and I don't know what they saw but they picked him up).  He doesn't seem to be very fast. A friend of ours told him he thinks he is pitching 65 to 70.  Coaches have asked him to throw harder and he speeds it up when he needs to. 

He throws strikes and locates well. He was used more than any other pitcher on his team last year. He is a starter and they will often put him in if a pitcher is in trouble. His high school coach complimented him and told him he is one of the few young pitchers who can throw strikes. He wins games.  I know velocity will matter soon.  He is still growing and I believe this will come.
