I'd also like to add that while velocity can play a role in your success, that alone will not make you successful. My 14 yr. old has been taking instruction from a former Braves draftee. Not once has this guy mentioned velocity. He doesn't own a radar gun. He puts very little emphasis on a breaking ball at this age, and preaches mechanics incessantly. He has made my son a much more effective pitcher by having him work on those mechanics and locate his fastball and change-up. You'd be surprised how well you can locate blind folded if your mechanics are right.
