what does he look like, physically?  is he getting the puberty bump, past it already or still waiting for it?  with my 2023 and this past covid year (p/3b/c), we've found that reps are great and his game cleaned up a lot but the biggest gains he got was from having weights in the garage and getting strong.  if your kid is going to take the fall off, that's a great time to go into beast mode in the weight room.

He's in the late part of growth spurt.  He'll end  up around 6ft 1 to 6ft 2.   Body is not defined at all yet unlike my 2023.  My 2023 MIF, in like 2 months time at age 16.5, all of a sudden started getting ripped and bringing it.  He's kinda shrimpy at 5ft 9, 150, and now throwing 83 across the INF.   That's why I think 2025 will be easily throwing 85+ in a couple years.

I'd recommend getting on a solid S&C program if he's not already, and checking out what Driveline and Tread Athletics offer in the way of remote programming.

For a kid of your son's age and ability whose touching 80, if you get him on a decent weighted ball program and start lifting consistently, not at all a stretch to imagine him pushing upper 80's/low 90's by the end of high school.

Thx tb15.  He's pretty self motivated so I might do a remote program.  I reread the above.  So his team went to the 14 wbba and lost every game.  Lol.  He pitched well though.  0 era in 7 total.  Hit 79 a few times and sat 75-77.  Another update. I gave in and signed up for fall ball on that team.  They're very good at pressure.  Kinda like trying to buy a car in the old days.  Or a time share.
