80 as a freshman isnt that fast, michael main whos a prospect threw 91 as a freshman. also strasberg threw only 90 when he was a senior, he didnt start throwing harder till college
my man ive been a varsity player since sophomore year and i was clocked at 85 sophomore year and 92 this junior year. Thats good and all, but really work on off speed stuff because thats whats getting me a D1 scholarship
@crf150baker that is about average. Dont see how you are on varsity tho, cuz im 13 throwin 80 tops and im not on varsity even tho there are hardily any varsity players. Not only that but i throw a nasty curve and sinker.
@joemoma53 i hit really good to i have 15 hr this year and idk how many hits or RBI's but its also because of my fielding and i have other pitches im not perfect or anything i strike out but not alot what league and state do you play in . i play in georgia
@joemoma53 i hit really good to i have 15 hr this year and idk how many hits or RBI's but its also because of my fielding and i have other pitches im not perfect or anything i strike out but not alot what league and state do you play in . i play in georgia
that doesn't really matter to be honest. yeah it's better if you step straight at the plate but as long as you stay closed on your front side and stay tall and stay back you won't have any problems
it should be emphasized that if a person who throws 88 mph is good with location and movement, then it is fine. The velocity will come with development. Once a person has the right mechanics and knows the grips, he can pitch.
he needs arm speed and some wrist coordination...cross train him...hundred 3 pointers 4 days a wk, with ball rotation and quick release emphasis, should do the trick!!
Theres a kid on my brothers team junior team ABA (Alberta Baseball Association 13-15 years) that throw 87 from the mound. He isnt used very often in pitching though, because theyre pretty wild.
he is awesome, but I don't think he is prospect... look his foot, and he's warming up? or is at 100%, if he's at 100% he should do more warming exercise because in the video it seems that his shoulder is bothering him... Just wondering, I don't know very much of mechanics and the spells of pitches... yet... xD
He is landing right... pitchers by real coaches are told that when their front foot lands it should be at a 45 degree angle to keep the back hip closed until it is ready to fly open..if your front foot lands straight your back hip will open up to early and you will loose velocity
I love how bitter all he old dudes get on YouTube when young guys are throwing harder than they ever did...
Look... im 22 and I cant pitch in the 80's... so im gonna give him credit, not post bitter bitch comments trying to take anything away from him. Stop your fuckin whining you old bastards.
Really? Have you? If you have been throwing over 90 since 16 then i should see you getting drafted here soon. What is your name? If you actually throw 90, which i doubt....
someone wanna give me advice? I'm a lefty with good movement, good control, but I throw consistently 83 and max at 86. I played a little independent ball but can't get anyone to pick me up now. Everyone keeps telling me its me velocity, and even if i hit the gym, I can't get passed 86, which is fucking frustrating. Any tips, for real, on how to get a few MPH besides just attacking the gym like a beast, cause its really not doing anything for me
measure your stride- it should be 90 percent or more of your height- tim lincecums stride is 120 percent of his height so giv it a try and c wat happens
you could try doing some band work. Alot of pitchers believes that works well. Also try some Jobe exercises... Just google em. Do alot of core and running. Besides that you shouldnt really be lifting. Like no bench, or cleans, or heaving lifting with the upper body. But the truth is, at some point your body just wont be able to throw any faster. If you want to chance blowing out and ruining your arm forever... You could try using weighted balls... But I would only do that if i was desperate.
Not bad, not bad. But, it's not in the arm the power lies, it's in your legs. Try to trly more onto your back so you can transfer more energy. I know it's more of a warmum, but yet. A simpel trick to help you doing so, point higher with your glove.
not sure how you are getting that velo with a short finish and a loose glove side. Nice balance and smooth delivery. I'm 14, nearly 15 and I only max out at 82, cruise at 77.
Throwing that hard at 14 isnt impressive at all... Most people who peek early level out early too... So I wouldnt be braggin about an 82 mph fastball cause that wont get you anywhere. People are only impressed once u can hit 100... Trust me, and you wont be hitting that.
Be very careful so as not to outthrow yourself. I've seen kids in high school already having shoulder surgery from throwing too much. While every arm is different, players need to know, just like weightlifters, when the pain is good pain or bad pain.
he goes to matignon high school in cambridge mass, hes a pretty nasty pitcher.. he also plays fullback or their team and hes alright but hes the biggest pussie ever.. he cant even take a hit from our team without getting up slow or whining.. we beat them today.
i bet you 300 dollars an he goes to Northern highschool in michigan hes being looked at by the los angelos dodgers so SHUT THE FUCK UP :D have a nice day bitch!
There is something a little weird with the leg lift and the beginning of the stride. It looks like he touches his knees to together and forms an X with his legs and it also seems like he bends his back too much. He looks tall to me and shouldnt hinder his velocity by taking away from his height.
nice arm, try to get your legs more involved and you will easily add some mph. Shoot for a 100% height for your stride length. Just let your arm be along for the ride and let your lower half do the work. Nice arm, hope you do well
