No one can tell you what you will throw "for certain" next year, never mind 2 or 3 years from now.
In baseball, and in life in general, you have to learn to "control what you can control". And by that I mean that you can control how hard you work to get stronger and how much you care for your arm. Arm velocity is not a standard number for all players that throw a certain velocity right now.
But I'll tell you what you can do, since you are obviously unwilling to understand what I and others have explained already. Find some lefty pitchers on the PG and backtrack their numbers to when they were your age. Some will have their velocity recorded, some won't. It still won't give you the answer that you want, but maybe you'll stop repeatedly asking the same question on here.
And finally, NO one can tell you what you will throw in a couple of years.
BV it really is starting to look like you should just play soccer!!!!
How fast will I be able to kick it when I'm a senior? I'm 5' 9" and 140lb right now.
90.
Forgot to add, I'm a rising kindergartener now.
You should forget about college ball. There is very little chance coaches will be interested in you. College coaches won't tolerate players who refuse to take advice.
At 60, if your velocity (or your pulse) is above zero, it's a good day.
Tough to say. I've seen people peak as freshmen and I've seen them have one big jump in a year my son is a college freshman and had a teammate go from 88 senior year to 94 during freshman season. My son picked up 3-6 MPH each year during HS. some of it is up to genetics and some up to how hard you work. Don't worry about the results yet focus on the process.
I'm 60. I throw just as hard now as I did at 21. The ball just arrives later these days.
My question is how does an 8th grader know what velocity he "cruises". Are there schools regularly running radar at junior high games?
BVwest11, if you get an answer to this question will you stop asking?
