Velocity Plus Program

How old are you and what is your size?  My son did this program (Jamie Evans program, right?) in July/August of 2013 (so, almost exactly 2 years ago) when he was a 15YO rising sophomore in HS, standing 6' 2" and 185 lb.  Here were his before and after results:

 

Before:

6 Oz - 75, 5 Oz - 80, 4 Oz - 84, 2 Oz - 89

After (10 week program):

6 Oz - 79, 5 Oz - 84, 4 Oz - 87, 2 Oz - 92

 

Fast forward to today, and he:

- stands 6' 3", 210 lbs.

- sits 87-88 mph, hits 89 fairly regularly and touched 90 mph for the first time about a week ago

- and his instructors have a goal for him to touch 92 by October.

 

Note: he has worked extremely hard, year round and not just on the weighted ball stuff; in fact, that is a very minor part of what he does.

 

Hope this helps.

Btw...at the time that he did the program, he was topping out at 81 mph on the mound.

Also, I note that you did not throw the 2 Oz ball.  Maybe that is not part of the program that you are doing, but it was described to us that that was a measurement of what one's max, ultimate potential could be (at or above that).  In my son's case, it appears that it is/was/will be at least close.  If you threw the 4 Oz 87 mph, I would guess you'd throw the 2 Oz at least 90 mph so with some hard work (especially strengthening of the scaps...which is what the weighted ball program primarily does...as I understand it), well...there you go.  Good luck.

Yeah I got the 2oz ball two and the other ones like the 2lb and 1lb they just had me test the three today the 4 5 and 6 and then once I get the program I'll use the others also. Btw what are some very good exercises that your son did or u know that will strengthen my scaps a lot? I've suffered from bicep tendinitis last year but have rehabbed and pretty much fine now but I need to strengthen my scaps a lot

I will leave that to the pros.  As an old friend of mine says, "I've already told you more than I know."  Here is one from Eric Cressey, and I would look up his program for sure as it is well known and one of the best. https://youtu.be/W4h4DuUxaQs I have actually seen my son do this exercise but there are several others.
