My sophomore hit 88 the other day. Anyone realistically understand what to expect as an improvement over the summer into next high school season? I am sure several variables factor in but just trying to understand if he would be at a recruitable velocity in his junior year. He is 6'4" 180ish...GO PANTHERS!!!

Don't expect anything. There's just no tellin'. He maybe throwing 95 by the time he graduates or he may be throwing 87.

Just have him keep working hard and doing what he's done this far to be successful. Control what you can control.

Others have written that from frosh, they may add 2-3 mph per year, until they stop.

The day he hits 90, which will most likely be next year, will be the day the scouts come a callin.
