Hi, umm dont know where to start…

Last year i was throwing around 75 and this past year i was only hitting 70 and it felt like i had no pop on my pitches so thats something i’m really concerned with b/c i thought i would’ve topped 80 this spring, can anyone help me with this?

secondly, i’ve had a hard time making the high school team b/c i dont think my coach likes homeschoolers, but i play legion (summer and fall) will this affect me greatly negatively when it comes to colleges? I’ve recieved letters from a few schools and showcases and tournaments because they like my mechanics and control, but how much negative air is let in with these two problems?

A drop in velocity could be due to a number of different reasons such as an injury, dead arm/overuse, a mechanics issue, or just a period of inactivity. But I couldn’t tell you what yuor specific reason is.

If you rely only on “getting seen” to make it to the college level, then not playing high school ball would be a disadvantage. But you can take other actions to help yourself out though I’m not an expert on that. I believe there have been prior posts about looking up and contacting college coaches. Maybe search this site for those posts.
