BUT

 

My 2013 was 77 as an 8th grader , 81 as a freshman,  83 as a soph , 84 as a sr.... 85 as a freshman (juco)  87-88 as a soph (juco)  has mad movement , location, and work ethic.... he's going to Tennessee Tech next season.....  years of hard work, and people telling him he was not good enough...

 

My point is you do not know yet.... too many factors.... BTW 2013 is 2018's pitching coach

 

Velo is important.... it gets the scouts to show up.... but 0's on the scoreboard keep you on the mound.

 

Heaving had 4 sons at this age, and they are all different... put your son in the best league you can where he can succeed... work on all aspects of pitching, play to your strengths... work on the weakness...


       
Looks like the mph after freshman year were a grind.  Did he stop growing early?  Was he on a pitcher specific workout?  Really happy for him.  And you must be proud how hard he worked to grind out those needed mph.
