| Hey, im 14 years old and play baseball. I throw 86 mph and want to know if you think i have a future? |
|
Also i have been to camps were scouts see me and look at me. Not only that but ex pros have helped me with my mechanics such as Ali cepeda, Mickey Westen and others. At camp a phillies scout gave me an award for being the best pitcher out of ages 11-19. I was only 13 at that time. i have played in the Little League. World Series also. I throw 5 pitches too, fastball, curve, slider, sinker, change, |

I threw 92 when i was 14, i threw 88 when i was 18, take care of your arm, if your little league or high school coach trys to pitch you or use you too often for their benifiet then do whatever you can to convince them they are wrong...ice it after everygame, then heat it, then run, it will build your leg strength and take stress off your arm, i reccomend doing the roger clemens workout it is online, by the way i have a lot of connections with scouts, give me your name kid |

well since the page cannot be found...i'm not so sure i can believe you Report It So then why you asking us????????? Can you throw 86 from a stretch or full windup ?? good job little man!! If you can really throw 86 mph at 14 then you definately have a future in the game. Personally I wouldn't mess with thowing too many curveballs, sinker, or sliders they could hurt your arm. Work on locating your fastball and making sure your change is coming from the same slot as your heater. You can start refining your breaking ball in the minors. Good luck If you really can throw 86 mph, and you really set your mind to It i say you could work your way up in the leagues. Dude just give me your Autograph Now ! 14 years old and throw 86 mph you have a definite future in the Big Leagues , just don't screw up along the way . If I was you I would just keep throwing fastball, changeup, and sinker. The other two could hurt your arm. Make sure that all of your pitches come out of the same arm slot, and have a difference in speeds. You should be throwing low to mid 90's by your junior year of high school and that will mean that you probably get either drafted or go to a big time 4-year school. Make sure you keep your grades up in school and stay out of trouble and you will for sure be highly recruited in high school. With a fastball like that, I wouldn't fool around with curves and sliders just yet. Keep it accurate with a change. Work hard, stay in school, and don't do drugs. HAHA Keep throwin'. no 14 year old can throw 86!! its impossible bc the muscles arent fully developed and you would tear your rotator cuff and just mess your shoulder all up!! im 17 (yes i play softball) but i also play baseball as a pitcher and i can only throw 75!! ive been playing since i was 3!! ive never seen a 14 year old throw 86, you dont even see it in hight school!! that's about what the average pro pitcher throws!! so maybe if your brought your BIG HEAD back to the real world, you might have somefuture!!but get real and tell the truth!! lying gets you no where 86 is pretty fast for someone your age if you have other pitches you can throw for strikes and your 86 mph fastball is accurate then there is definitely a bright future in store for you. i think your flattering yourself and by the time you are 20 or 21 you will probably have blown your arm out throwing to many curves and sliders No, you suck. Give up baseball, you're not going to be any good. :O You could have a future if You Paid attention to those Pros. And Control your pitches That's more Important than SPEED!! Just hang in there. you are a liar and a poor one at that. Judging by this post I will say ur probably not the smartest either so to me ur future looks quite dim. nothing but a morally corrupt mediocre baseball player Hey i'm 14 too ,and i'm actually getting into your range also.I'm just having trouble placing the ball over certain areas of the plate. People don't believe that i'm 14,because i'm very big for my age,so people don't go crazy if i throw in the 80's. As far as a future........you might have one as long as you take care of your arm. Last season i messed my arm up really bad while diving for a line drive a 3rd base,and it affected my pitching to where i could only get into the low-low 70's. I'm better now,and am getting into the low 80's. you are full of ****! i bet ur a bot!!!! if this is true and you really can throw 86, it means nothing if you can't put it in the strike zone...and by the way, for who did you play in the little league world series?...any chance you're danny almonte? :) i highly doubt u can throw 86mph I'm confused why you would ask the general public this question when you've already interacted with profesional scouts and ex-pros? Have you asked them? Surely if you have, you'd trust their answers over semi-annonymous internet surfers. And if you haven't, why would you trust our opinions? If you can indeed do what you say, then 1) If you were coached to throw a curve or slider you haven't been caoched very well because no one at that age should be taught that, which would mean you may lack other fundamentals necesary for the developemnt of a world-class pitcher, meaning talent will catch up and it will prove very dificult to improve from the spot at which you are now. And 2.) If you decided to throw those on your own, I think you should be able to rely on your fastball in high school and develop everything else at the college level. If not you'll wear down while the body is supposed to be still growing and when you move up in ranks the hitting will get tougher but your pitching won't. All that aside, this just seems like an attempt to either embelish your abilities and/or post a resume for an office with no openings. If you are serious about this, this is the wrong forum. You have a future IF: There are a lot of factors to throw in. Many organizations will look into a power pitcher in the hopes he'll find major league control. Your pitch variety should also be an asset. Well I'm 12 and I can throw 96. Guess I make you look pretty bad, huh? |
