I am an incoming Freshman who had just graduated 8th grade. (Big deal. Lol). I am about 5' 8" 140lb and cruise around 70-72mph and top out around 73-74mph. I will be going to a not huge but somewhat big school 5A. And my questionshare to you guys are (1) If I can get to 73-77mph would that be a good speed for the Freshman A team. And also (2) what is the likelyhood of. Me getting to those speeds in about a year?
By the way I'm LHP
thank you

BVwest, not sure where you are located at but your velocity sounds fine. Maybe a little low but you should be ok. At the frosh level I have not seen many kids topping 80. There are a few here and there but most kids are mid to upper 70s. You will pick up some speed. Figure 3 to 5 mph as your body matures anyway.
You'll find the majority of incoming freshmen in the low 70's. If you can get in the upper 70's, that's generally a very nice number for a freshman in most programs.
