That's good progress, Scotty! Adding weight & strength will help for sure.
For my son, here's what I had posted previously, updated with a recent outing this past weekend:
- Mar. 2013 (age 12 yrs, 2 mo.): 62 mph
- April 2014 (age 13 yrs, 3 mo.): 70 mph
- June 2015 (age 14 yrs, 5 mo): 75.1 mph
- May 2016 (age 15 yrs, 4 mo.): 80.0 mph
- June 2017 (age 16 yrs, 5 mo.): 86 mph
Hoping for 87 or 88 this summer. Just started lifting, so maybe that will help.
Wow, that is a darn near linear progression...the scientist in me is drooling at the pretty data points!

- Nov 2017 (age 16 yrs, 10 mo.): 90 mph
Only one pitch at 90, otherwise high was 88, but still a big day for the kid. Lifting appears to be helping.
Congrats on the continued growth! Looking forward to how this impacts his "recruiting" value. Thanks for documenting the journey..
Do you have an idea on his weight and height at these milestones? That would be kind of cool to see.
