I am an incoming Freshman who had just graduated 8th grade. (Big deal. Lol). I am about 5' 8" 140lb and cruise around 70-72mph and top out around 73-74mph. I will be going to a not huge but somewhat big school 5A. And my questionshare to you guys are (1) If I can get to 73-77mph would that be a good speed for the Freshman A team. And also (2) what is the likelyhood of. Me getting to those speeds in about a year? Also if I could get to a cruising speed of 82-84 and top speed of 86 what kind of college could I or even if I could go to?

 

By the way I'm LHP

 

thank you

Original Post

You don't need to keep posting the same question. You've received plenty of advice. no one can tell you what you will be in two or three years. That's up to you. Look at what you can control and what you can't control. You can't control your height. You can look at your parents and consider you will get a build similar to one of them or somewhere in the middle. Chances are you will grow to be 6-8 inches taller than your mother. You can control your body strength and arm strength. You can control your arm's health. You can control your work ethic.

 

Work ethic is an interesting subject in the athletic world and professional world. There are people who think they have it as they are going at 110%. They are putting in a little extra. What they don't realize is they are losing out to completely committed people going 150%. You have to decide if you would prefer to succeed or are you committed to succeeding.

 

No one has a crystal ball. No one can tell you where you will be next year, the year after, or the year after. You have to be committed, put in the work and find out. Instead of asking what the future will bring, start asking about developing body strength, arm strength, mechanics, the right summer team, etc..
