What makes you think you'll be throwing 90 mph with improved off speed pitches? What makes you think the out-of-baseball training you'll be doing is better than the training a collegiate program would have you doing? Reading your comments makes me assume you think your training will be better than training would be in college. That contradicts my opinion of college baseball. What makes you think you'll be a better pitcher even if you do reach your desired velocity?

LOTS of risk here, not much opportunity for reward. Just as everyone else has said, I don't really know why you would do this. There's not much upside to it.
