Late Bloomer

Tooster10+ posts

Hey Folks,

My son is a senior this year and somewhat of a late bloomer. He has never tried out for HS,(although he intends to this year). He has had somewhat of an epiphany and would like to continue playing baseball(jouco or D3) while going to college.
He just turned 17 is 6'1" 155 lbs and a mostly raw/undeveloped lefty throwing around High 70's to low 80's(mostly arm). He has a decent and improving changeup and is also working on his slider. He is currently working with a pitching instructor, playing fall ball and attending Catz(strentgh and conditioning). He will be attending a couple D3 fall prospect clinics in October. He will be continuing his workouts through the winter, while looking for additional exposure opportunities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Welcome to HSBBW!

Sounds like you are taking the right steps.

Being that he has not played HS ball, the one advice I would have for him is to keep a great attitude, since it may be a up hill battle of getting accepted on the team.
