2018 is going to a D3 academic. Past summer his FB was 86, sat 81-83 with strike out secondary pitches. He knew his velo wasn't impressing and he had a better chance being at SS.
He's now throwing 86-87 flat ground with FB touching 89, coach thinks 90-92 in spring HS ball.
Sidebar: He's a gamer, primarily plays SS w 90 across IF and has competed against the best in PG and other tournaments.
His command of secondary pitches helped develop confidence on the mound. He knew because his velo wasn't high it would be difficult to get recruiting looks as a PO. Now he's stronger and the velo is coming around. Bit of a late bloomer, I'm sure there would have been other recruiting possibilities, but he's a happy guy with having the chance to contribute right away, still have upside, and at least graduate with one hell of an education.
