How hard were you throwing at 15?

[@kyledevaughn3848]

62😅

[@austinroberts6229]

Yeah, 60 something. 93 at 19 though. Couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

[@kyledevaughn3848]

I’m only 5’9”. The highest I’ve ever pitched was 81, in my Sophomore year of high school (17 years old). My average was around 77, but I ended up dislocating my right shoulder playing football. A guy landed on my arm when I was down and my arm was on top of another guy’s helmet. I ended up playing after our trainer reset it, and we won. However, I lost about 30% of the power in my right arm. I was benching 285 max, then it went down to 225. My left arm became stronger than my right arm. I’d say they’re about the same now, but I’m 32 years old, and no longer have a future playing sports. I like to golf in my spare time though.

[@Sportsglory-m4i]

I am 15 right now topping out at 83, 86 on pull downs

[@b-rad3063]

You can see his dad behind him to the right watching him. much respect, he looks like he cares alot

[@basicguy99]

That's Jose Contreras lol

[@CCBGamingPro]

Read the title as "Look out for the 5 year old Kid". Almost threw my phone out the window

[@DominicFrankovich]

Same 😂

[@LucasOliveira-nh4pq]

lol his slider is faster than my FB

[@gavinmottley]

I've seen so many videos by you guys giving pitchers "kick changes" that previously couldn't really throw good changeups. Seems like it's some type of seam shifted change where they can hold supination and still tilt the axis. Can you guys do a breakdown on that sometime? Giving supinators (and just high slot guys in general like this kid) changeups with sub 3 vert is sick and I'd love to try something like it

[@SethB-no9iz]

Hell yea brother!!

[@LoganThessing]

Question: where should we be at 15?

[@187Overkillah]

Martin Dewald was sitting 85mph at 15. I played him 20 years ago as 14 year old…

[@therealbs2000]

That was my kid sorry about your phone

[@therealbs2000]

Is he related by any chance to the cuban legend jose contreras

[@DerekLubkiwski]

Looks to be Jose Contreras in the background.

[@robinlinh]

damn I just look him up and it is. This is his son.

[@jc.wesss3200]

yea that's his son

[@yocraigg]

Yep I train with jose

[@Aaron-fv5lt]

Look up striker pence he’s a 6’4 14 yr old and is at 90-91

[@primeeditzsoto22]

Hey Treadathletics. Got any tips for a Middle Schooler?

[@treadathletics]

Yes! We made a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWGvo2hpob-Mjs0

@@treadathletics Thanks treadathletics!

[@edwardhanlon5493]

very few strikes. does that matter?

[@treadathletics]

Yes, hence the command work and directional focus of the pen.

[@cmagtpose2792]

Incoming TJS at a young age, these velo clubs are part of the problem.

[@treydoesva]

They’re not “velo clubs”. It’s more of a pitching training program that works with pitchers on mechanics, which in itself improves velocity significantly. THEN they work on strength and throw like one or two velo pens a week.

[@treadathletics]

If you'd like to learn about how our service operates, feel free to check out this video explaining everything that goes into our training rather than calling us a "velo club" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJWVdnSkbtl9eq8

look where? at walmart? he's throwing 80poo. candy army. pls stick to legit pitchers pls. dont be like perfect game scouting.

[@mindcry777]

@@dustinpoirierfan85690 at the end of the day its a crap shoot if you can protect your arm perfectly.. paul skenes is/was going 100+ pitches at 100+ mph.. These other pitchers that have been doing arm protection routines are all getting torched by injury.. its up to GOD tbh.. i wish this youngster the best strength in his arm indefinitely..
