BVwest, you can ask this question as much as you like, until the moderators have had enough and you get booted.

No one can tell you what you will throw "for certain" next year, never mind 2 or 3 years from now.

In baseball, and in life in general, you have to learn to "control what you can control".  And by that I mean that you can control how hard you work to get stronger and how much you care for your arm. Arm velocity is not a standard number for all players that throw a certain velocity right now.

But I'll tell you what you can do, since you are obviously unwilling to understand what I and others have explained already. Find some lefty pitchers on the PG and backtrack their numbers to when they were your age. Some will have their velocity recorded, some won't. It still won't give you the answer that you want, but maybe you'll stop repeatedly asking the same question on here.

And finally, NO one can tell you what you will throw in a couple of years.
I am 52 going on 53.  I am thinking of making a comeback.  Currently I throw 60 - 62 on a good day with a curve ball that just spins but if I throw it slow enough it will have a hump in it.  I throw 3/4 and drop down occasionally.  I eat a lot of pizza, fried chicken and peanuts and currently am on no workout program of any kind.  Arthritis in knees and shoulders moving to hips.  If I start working on my game now what do you think my velocity will be when I am 60?

Tough to say.  I've seen people peak as freshmen and I've seen them have one big jump in a year my son is a college freshman and had a teammate go from 88 senior year to 94 during freshman season.  My son picked up 3-6 MPH each year during HS.  some of it is up to genetics and some up to how hard you work.  Don't worry about the results yet focus on the process.
