My brother is at the end 8th grade and wants to increase his pitch velocity. His goal is to make varsity by freshman year next year and if not by latest sophomore year. He's right now a 14 year old 5'8" 135lb right handed pitcher who sits 70-72mph on the mound and maxes out at 74. His max pulldown throw as of now is 78mph. First of all is that good for his age group? His doctor also projects him to be around 6'0" to 6'1" when he finishes growing.
I was wondering what exercises are best to increase his velocity in a safe manner steadily over the course of his high school career. Weight training? Bands? Medicine ball? Something else? Which combination exercises would put him in the best position to increase his velocity? Also is there any reputable program I can buy that is proven to increase velocity as well?
