I mainly play infield and I like to hit, but I enjoy pitching to. I just graduated from HS and will be playing at a community college. I am 6' and throw about 86-88 topping off around 90. I never try to throw as hard as I can so I don't know if I can throw a whole lot harder, but I would guess that I can. I throw a 2 seam fastball with late movement and a pretty good curve. I can throw a change up not always for a strike and a good knuckle ball for a strike for the fun of it. I have very good control.
I want to play MLB and have had some interest as a hitter and infielder. I was not drafted but was asked what I would sign for by one team. I am told that I will be my best after my 2nd year of college.
I know that most scouts look for a 6'5" pitcher these days or someone that can throw mid 90's, but if things do not work out for me as a hitter do you think that my size and not throwing mid 90's would be enough to keep me from making it professionally as a pitcher. I weigh 180 now.
