From what I've picked up running can help velocity simply by increasing your overall bodily condition, and the better shape your in, the harder your going to be able to throw typically. But ya, do NOT fret over your velocity, when I was 14 I topped out at about 65 mph (Freshman year). I started running, hitting the gym, and strengthening my arm A LOT especially in the off season. I can now fly the ball approximately 280-300 ft. and my velocity 3 months ago topped at 86 mph. Just keep working and DO NOT GIVE UP...EVER! I weigh 168 lbs now and you can bet your *** I'm going to work harder than ever this year to see if I can get my velocity into the 90's by my senior year next year. Just keep working and you'll be fine.

That being said, I'm going to devote the most of my time to improving my changeup, because without it, nobody has much of a chance.
