now, anyone have numbers of where he is suppose to be? And I will add, his fastball was averaging 65mph in November so we are excited about that! 👍😱🎉
I've posted some numbers I was given when my son started his recruiting process. Now, let me first say, these are not guaranteed to get you into any college, nor put you on the top list of every college recruiter. View them as points to help in your sons development. There's a lot that goes on in the recruiting process, and hitting these numbers doesn't mean scholarship. But, they can help set expectations. For example, if your son is a 2022 and he has a goal to play D1, he knows he has to increase his velo number somewhere in the 90+ range over the next 3 years. By the time he's a junior if he's in the mid 80's, he may want to re-think D1, or get extra help in getting the number higher. As an example, my son is an OF, and will play on an athletic scholarship for a school in the Big West Conference. His numbers just last summer when he was an Incoming HS Senior:
60 Yard Dash - 6.76
Exit Velo - 96
Raw Velo (OF) - 92
His freshman year he was:
60 Yard Dash - 7.05
Exit Velo - 81
Raw Velo - 80
There's a lot that's going to change over the next 3 years...physically, mentally, academically and socially. Continue to guide him, and set real expectations. Be a Dad first, coach second...
