Off season rest and velocity training for a pitcher

GloFisher1,000+ posts

I'm looking for advice on off-season rest and training for a pitcher. My son will complete his fall season in early October. He will continue to work out but will take some time off from throwing. If he wants to be 100% ready to play on March 15th, how much time off should he take and when should he start picking it back up to get ready for the season? I have read different philosophies on the off season. He would benefit from a velocity program/weighted ball program and /or long toss. when should that work take place?
