TPM posted:2019Dad posted:P.S. --
In scripture it says there is nothing new under the sun. 10 years ago the HSBBW community was discussing a topic entitled "Average Velocity Increases":
http://community.hsbaseballweb...-velocity-increases?
I'll give TPM her due: her postings now are consistent with 10 years ago!!
Velocity will always be discussed here. Its whats discussed thwt is important. I dont think its important until a pitcher reaches HS and shows ability to go forward.
Yes, I stand my ground now just as I did 10 years ago.
Not being disrespectful here, but those dads who said you must be obsessed with velocity and worked their guys to do something they really couldnt, most never developed the velocity needed and some where hurt, I think one of their sons never made it to play in college.
You can be obsessed all you want, but its difficult to tell whats happenig while the pitcher is still growing.

Well, I don't personally know any of those dads who 10 years ago said you must be obsessed with velocity -- my quote was from Bum, and I think his son played major D1 baseball, was drafted, and played a couple years in the minors. Not such a bad outcome, right?
