What is your parent's size? If mom and dad are 5' 11" and 6' 4" respectfully as opposed to 5' 1" and 5' 9" that's going to matter. Being a lefty is a big plus but puberity is going to have the most say going forward. My son took pitching lessons with a kid who was throwing 83 in the 6/7th grade. He was throwing 88 jr year. That said as a lefty 88 with control of offspeed/fastball will get you DI. 93 plus with little to no control will get you drafted.
Just an honest question. I have a 2025 lefty who already just wants to pitch. He is 12 1/2 and 5ft 8; 133lbs. He projects to be 6ft 1 per pediatrician. Mom is 5ft 5. Im only 5ft 8. The original poster is already 6ft as 2022. Doesnt he already check the box as someone who likely to be 6ft2 plus? As long as he can pitch.
Parent height is not always the best predictor. For my 6'3" son, I am 5'10" and his mother is 5'7". His freshman little bro is already 6'0". I believe the typical growth over high school ages is around 2-4", but everyone is different. Doctors reviewing growth plates probably give the best guesses.
Also, college coaches don't want to project more than they have to... my son was low 80s as a soph already over six foot, but still "too" projectable/unpredictable for serious D1 interest.
