@Leftyson2023 posted:3&2 thank you, that’s basically what I was thinking.. We just didn’t know if he needed to be there “now”. If the summer before his senior season would be “too late”.
As far as projectablility (sp) is that a “realistic” goal? Or should it be toned back to a 4-6 mph increase? With a big focus on the weight room this fall and into the spring, and a good instructor?
All the physical improvements, pitching mechanics improvements and velocity have to happen between now and the beginning of next season. All this has to occur while considering somewhere in the mix needs to be rest so he doesn’t wreck his arm following this season and he’s rested enough to perform at his new peak performance next season.
The one thing a lefty has going for him is there’s always room for more pitching. But there won’t be time to throw spaghetti off the wall to see what sticks next summer. He will need to be pointed in the right direction with the purpose of getting in front of the right targets. I hope the two of you have made a business plan with target schools. Don’t just hope to be discovered. It’s a huge mistake.
