This has been a great journey/journal since we started posting here on this site. Something I can look back on and reminiscence the past. Son still 6'1" and little less than 150lbs on a good eating day, very very athletic, at 5'10 he could dunk a basketball, just came back from 18U WWBA World Championships in Jupiter FL. I was really humbled with all the tremendous talent gathered in one area, and it's an experience our son will enjoy and remember for rest of his life. One thing my son said to me "i belong here" still rings.
End of August there were rumors from D3 college scouts that he touched 88, in the fall there were no rumors, our son was consistently hitting 87-88 and now touching 89 on many occasions. We are hopeful after good winter workout we can pass 90. His increase in velo has passed my expectations for his year.
We have never used weighted balls for this journey, if there was a week of lull, we would use long toss to maintain strength and the long toss was completely on his own discretion, continuously preaching, listen to his arm.
We have a lot of d3 schools calling, but his goal has been to go to d1, we have given him information of d3 vs d1 and he understands, he has been a late bloomer.
