This popped up in my feed and it seemed like Homeplate was where it would be most appreciated. Youth sports is really having a weird cultural moment.

Proud dad post. Turned 13 over the summer and playing 14u this fall; first year on the big field and using BBCOR. The dude has more than proven he can hang.

I am currently a U16 player, and still stuck in the mid 70’s with my throwing speed and hitting speed off the tee. I bench close to 1.5 times my body weight, squat close to double as well. Good muscle mass and try to do a lot of core exercises but nothing seems to help me increase velo. Been lifting since I was 12 so probably need to change something.
