Hoping some hard work and adding 15 pounds by next summer can help on the velo front.

He needs technique improvements if he's throwing in 70s. You may need a new instructor. Get instruction where they measure improvements (radar). If you don't know how fast he's really throwing, how can you tell if he's getting better?

And as far as eyeball tests, that's a joke. I have a radar gun and I never saw anyone that could guess readings for kids that did not have known speeds. The catcher's mitt pop or no pop, plus the herky jerky pitcher movements throw most people off.
