who cares and who said that u will make it to college?
Its really too early to be making any predictions on your throwing velocity some 11 years down the road.
Right now you ought to be more concerned about playing baseball for the fun of it. The next few years begin the great elimination of ball players from the game.
If you write down all the names of the players on your 11-12 year old team and open that list up when you are a senior in HS, you will find that many of them will not be playing anymore.....
Seems to me you are throwing fine for your age group. If you want something to improve on, try working on throwing strikes consistently.....velocity will come.......Successful pitchers at your age are the ones who throw strikes.....
One last piece of advice......ignore Keatons ignorant post.....who cares he asks? .........you care...and thats enough for now....I just think that someday "Keaton" will want some advice or a recomendation from a coach or scout.......and lets see if he wants to hear "who cares?" from them.....
Best of luck........keep throwing, keep playing..
Life is full of people who want you to fail....avoid them......ignore them.......and you defeat them

yeah just ignore him, but he is right about the college thing. Very few players make it and at 11 years old, you shouldnt go around thinking your the next college prospect...worry about that in high school. just keep working hard.
I wouldn't be concerned with Velocity at your age. as stated above its about throwing strikes...you would want to be more concerned with keeping your arm healthy so later when you want to gain velocity seriously you'll beable to...lay off the curveballs until ur 15-16..get a good change up in ur range of pitches
