We are in the same boat in Texas. Several of our pitchers, including my son didn't throw all fall (Since 3rd week of August) and started back up the week before Thanksgiving to prepare. He had a camp at the school where he is committed in January and threw one inning and had a scout day the next weekend where he had to throw. Our first scrimmage was Monday and we saw a pitcher on the other team hit 96mph and two on our team hitting 94 and 93 respectively. There were 62 scouts in the stands, so they needed to be ready. I think when you know you'll need to throw, you plan for it in advance.
