The velocity era is a tired act.
Watching dudes with below command trying to throw as hard as they can every pitch is vomit worthy.
It's time for the pitchability, moxie and feel era to resurface.
Command it.
Then learn to throw it harder, not the other way around.
The velocity progression is supposed to be gradual.
Example
9th-79-81
10th-82-84
11th-85-87
12th-88-90
Then continue climbing in college.
It's how injury risk is reduced drastically.
Learn to control it.
Learn to command it.
Then add velocity.

Rebels are winners in 7 of their last 8 games🔥.

That’s win #10 on the season, and the Rebs are heating up as we head into the second half of the regular season.
Final game of this action packed week is tomorrow at Streamwood HS.
