Hello everyone-
My name is Brendan Smith, and I am a junior RHP at UAlbany, a D1 in Albany, NY. On our scout day on September 28, 2017, I sat 87-88 and topped at 89 from a low 3/4/siderarm slot. My goal for the off-season is to top at 93 mph before our first weekend series (Feb. 23). I want to go into that weekend sitting 90-91, to generate interest from scouts. Currently, I am 6’3" and weigh 230 lbs. My ideal weight for the season is 215-220 lbs.
Current “main” lifting maxes (based on our program):
Deadlift- 405 lbs x2 reps
Front squat- 245 lbs x2 reps
DB bench press- 75 lbs x4 reps
Lifting goals by Feb. 23:
Deadlift- 455 lbs x2 reps
Front squat- 275 lbs x2 reps
DB bench press- 90 lbs x4 reps
Follow along on my journey to 93 mph (and hopefully beyond). My plan is to post weekly updates. I do not throw a bullpen until December, and won’t use radar gun ratings until late December or early January
