Reply to "Velocity Increase"

I completely understand the fascination with training, tracking and attaining velo in youths/HS pitchers today. We were there, at least the training part and my son realized some of those gains. I wont say you "need" velo to get a scholarship but D1s like velo, tempo, mound presence and athleticism (how the arm works).

 

All that being said, my son is now a frosh @ a Power 5 and they are focused on reducing the possibilities of mechanical flaws and simpifying his pitching motion so he can be more "accurate". He has never been wild or innaccurate and has had good velo and a great curve however in D1 the window is smaller and a mistake here or there costs you a ballgame.

 

Good luck with the grind, i hope all of the younger kids grow in their baseball journey and get schollys. I am a fan of pitchers.
