Reply to "Summer Before Freshman Year"

The HS season getting cancelled was the best thing that could have happened for my son. He worked out like crazy and saw the benefits quickly. Now he’s a gym rat. He went from mid 70’s in March to 80 in the summer. He was on a gun again for a tryout a month ago and hit 83 on the mound. Last Sunday at a scout day he threw 80 on his 1.85 pop (first time under 2.0). He’s also getting a lot of attention from travel coaches and his teammates with the bat.

My son was 115 lbs when he started eating better and lifting. He’s at least 145 now and ripped. Size was easily his biggest weakness. He also had a regular schedule to practice fielding, hitting, and catching. Now we need to add bullpens in there because coach wants him to pitch a little this spring.

Highly competitive game reps are extremely valuable, but you need to balance it with everything else.
