How long to get to full velocity as the season starts?

24&34Dad10+ posts

24 is a 2009 LHP. We have not gunned him in the past but have been told he throws high 70's, low 80's. Has been succesfull with less than stellar fast ball due to an very effective CB and plenty of movement on the fastball. This spring, in bullpens and scrimmamges, his fast ball "looks" slow. He was in a throwing program over the winter and did long toss when the weather allowed it. No pain and no clear mechanical flaws. High School team has been working out for about a week.

Any guidance on how long it takes to get back to "normal" velocity after the winter break?

He has been effective in the scrimmages, so maybe we are overthinking things....
