I have been told high 80s for a LHP. 87+. The point is that velocity will come with maturity and hard work. Some guys can hit 90 at 16. The guy who used to pitch for Detroit had a team 16U called the detroit Cobras. He had one 16yo who was hitting 92 and another (his son) 90. I don't know what happened to them but they threw hard and with control. One of my son's 17U teammates threw 89 off flat ground. Unfortunatly his arm was messed for a couple years because he had terrible mechanics. He is healthy now and is going to a JUCO. He is a great kid and am looking forward to seeing how he does. Hopfully he will be taught good mechanics. He is a very strong kid with thick body and huge muscular hands.
