The 15yo at A D1 is in the 90s and he was 87-88 as a freshman. He is the only 15yo throwing still who was hitting 85-86 back then

I would submit that 3-4 MPH gained over 5 years is more typical than 5-10 MPH. My son is a 6-2 RHP and was 84-86 at PG Underclass in Ft. Myers at 15. He is 88-91 at 21. That is typical velocity gained over similar time periods for players in the southern lower 48, based on what I have seen. 5-10 is the excepion, imo, but bless'em.

Cards LHP Mike Maroth, on the other hand was 83-85mph at UCF a few years ago. I watched him on TV last week. He is 84-86. He basicly gained nothing. 5-10 is anecdotal, imo.
