I agree with adbono. Any major velo gains after maturity, above 2-3 mph, will be because of changing motion or learning how to use body better but I don't think you see major ones. Garrett Crochet, White Sox and former Tennessee lhp, added 16 mph in college but they revamped total mechanics and throwing motion. Came in at mid 80's and left topping 103 but that is the freak. Perfect Game has him topping 87 but that was the top he ever threw I'm told. Normally 84-85.
