I am always amazed when I attend college showcases at how few pitchers display anything close to the velocity it takes to play at the next level. Week after week, all summer long they all pitch their hearts out. Many pitch their teams to one victory after another and by seasons end they are sure they are well on their way to playing in college or the pros.  Most will not get the chance. It's not because they didn't  put their hearts in it or win often enough. Those things matter but only if you have enough velocity. Pitching at the next level is conditional upon one fact: velocity. If you have enough velocity then your competiveness, pitchabilty and secondary pitches matter.  You can be the most decorated pitcher around but if you only throw 79 or 82 then no one really cares. Are you satisfied you have enough velocity to meet the first condition to be recruited as a pitcher?  Here is how to tell IF you have enough: [+]. Then this is how you get enough:[+]
