Really interested to see if there is a pattern such as throwing 80 as a freshman and maybe 84 as a soph etc. Just wondering if there are certain benchmarks they are looking for at the various ages. Thanks in advance for your help!
Son was a two way player (SS/RHP) and didn't pitch a lot as the team(s) had a lot of good pitching.
Frosh: 81-83
Soph: 82-84
Jr.: 86-90 (Active recruiting started)
Sr. 89-93
Lots of interest and several offers at end of Jr. year for both position and pitching. Drafted as pitcher out of HS but chose offer from dream college to play SS position.
