A great testament to his long toss program

For most pitchers, a ton of Long Toss after age 16 or 17 will mainly produce weary and perhaps damaged arms.

Most colleges work pitchers far beyond anything they've done in HS. Some are brutal. But I don't see many college freshman (who can be 17) adding much speed.

I do see many college freshman having TJ and being red shirted for various lesser ailments.

I can think of at least one good HS freshman who had a healthy arm and gained virtually no speed after age 14. 70 MPH freshman-72 MPH senior. But that also is very rare.

Yes, did BUM Jr grow taller at age 17-18?
