Are YOU good enough for COLLEGE BASEBALL in 2022? EV/Sprint/Velo Benchmarks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- After playing Division 1, Division 2, and Pro Ball, here are my recommended benchmarks if you want to play college baseball. I have heard a lot of misinformation on the subject, and wanted to make a guide based off my playing experience and numbers from the MLB.
If you are not close to these numbers, that is OK! Many players peak later on in their career, and take longer to develop. These are simply recommended benchmarks so that you can have something to shoot for.
In this video I cover:
Exit Velo: (90-95mph)
Sprint Speed: (7.0 60 YD Dash)
Arm Strength: (80-85mph IF, 85-90mph OF)
These numbers are based off pro comparisons, and four years of college baseball where numbers were regularly recorded. These seemed to be average to above average numbers, and these were roughly the averages amongst our starting lineups.

Thanks Coach
My 9 year old is writing these numbers down as goals to hit by his Junior year
I’m 14 throwing mid to high sixties and good control working on breaking balls. My hitting needs a lot of work
Yo no disrespect but if ur only throwing high sixties then you gotta work on your hitting
@@313_christiani mean it depends. if they’re still growing a lot i’d say if their not at least touching 80’s by 16 then they need to work primarily on hitting.
How accurate is the exit velo tool for measuring your true raw power? I mean when you train in the off-season is it the go to metric for seeing how you’ve developed or is how far the ball goes in BP? I’m just curious how to gauge my power development as a player.
Good question!! It definitely doesn’t tell you everything… I mean, a lot of times when I get my exit velos up, I am rolling over a lot, and my swing isn’t as good. But I think most schools use it as a main metric because it shows how high your Celling is. It shows what you’re at least capable of, and then they can develop you the rest of the way.
60 time is such a dumb metric for baseball.
Fr you'll never run 60 yards in a straight line, honestly depending on your position the only meaningful metrics are exit velo, and throwing velo from your position.
@@Bronx_Bombers2799No
@@Bronx_Bombers2799faxxx shouldn’t they just do home to first time?, or even home to home
30 time I feel like is a lot more important tbh
This helps thanks dude
I am 13 throwing just under 75 can I improve enough for college?
prob not
Hey I love you vids what does pine tar do to your wood bat
What are some things to do to get my arm stronger so I can throw harder from the outfield
Lift weights do explosive movements
Good stuff!
I know this question is six months after the video came out but when you say exit velo can it be with metal or with wood
D1 uses BBCOR bats, so the metric would be with those.
What drills do you recommend to up my exit velocity
Is 25 too old to try and play college baseball? I’m in good shape and getting in better shape everyday and I was a great outfielder, just need to work on my hitting and everything.
To be sure, yes it is too old. Unless you have either 1) Elite talent and no one has heard of you for some reason OR 2) Extra ordinary talent AND a notable and compelling reason to take a roster spot away from someone who is potentially 18 or 19 years old and has a bigger development arc in college and beyond. Again, there are certainly late bloomers in baseball, but at 25 the college baseball book has been written for the majority of people.
Are you still trying to go pro?
I played from 8yo to 13yo, so your thinking D2?
I’m 13 throwing low-mid sixties. I just made a really good travel team but I’m pretty much the same level as everyone on the team. I want to be better. My hitting is already pretty good but I was more pitching velo. And I’m trying to find out more ways instead of just arm bands and lifting. *my fielding is good too. If you guys have any tips please let me know
Dude you might be the first person in your age range on the internet that is actually honest. There’s nothing more heartbreaking seeing that a 14 year old throws 94MPH even though it’s complete bullshit. I’m 19 and still can’t quite crack 90MPH. I know I’m not going anywhere special but I play competitively in Ontario, Canada and for the University of Guelph. I know I wasn’t helpful my dude just showing my appreciation.
@@the_pheonixking haha thank you man! I’m sure you’ll go somewhere man just gotta keep grinding. Ty tho my dude
@@Cole.30 Ofc man words of wisdom and encouragement are the best. If there’s any tip I could give you to improve your pitching velo is to include plyometrics into your workout. Plyometrics improve acceleration and explosiveness which are key factors when it comes to pitching velo. It sounds like you’re already putting up great numbers and if you start doing plyos your game will be taken to the next level.
@@the_pheonixking yeah Ty man. No clue what pylos are but I’ll look it up rn! Ty 🙂
I’d say for your age just try to throw as much as you can and to do some long toss. My favorite way to do it is to go to my local middle school football field and work out to about 90% of my max distance twice or three times a week, doing lighter throwing on other days. Also doing mobility work and yoga will help a lot. As you get stronger, you should try your best to stay as mobile as possible. And also make sure always do proper warm up and arm care.
good stuff🔥
Thanks Michael 🙏🏻
Pitchers?
I'm 5 4 134 15 my exit velo off the tee is lower than this? Obviously I can continue to get stronger and improve my mechanics, but I think I'm a late bloomer so not easy to compete when you're a late bloomer
I was a late bloomer myself!! No need to stress these numbers too early. Keep grindin
Thanks, what age should I worry about these numbers? Or is it all about how I grow and develop, rather than age? Because my travel ball coaches want me to start emailing schools but I don't think I'm there yet physically
What about catchers
Just looking for an opportunity!!!
Hi
Sorry what is juco
It means junior college
At what age should you be getting these numbers I’m in 14u so I’m sitting around 65-70 on my fastball velo and around a 75 ev but I ran a 6.4 30yd dadh
A 6.4 30 is ridiculously slow even for 14 but everything else is pretty good
If 6.4 30 is not mistaken hope it was 6.4 60. Otherwise you better throw upper 80 and 100+ EV to make up that speed 😅
You got some speed training to go to my boi
Boy im 14u outfield velo is 90 fb velo 83 (with bad mechanics) Ev upper 80s low 90s. and my 60 yard dash is 6.9
@@szkkiq2256 go to a few big school camps and do good in the summer and you’ll be committed no later than sophomore year tbh
I wish you were around doing this when I was in High School! It would have set a much easier expectation to play baseball at a higher level.
I miss it everyday.
3:29 Not me having a 7.12 💀
My 13-year-old is a 5-tool stud on his 14U national showcase 5 Star team. Not sure what his exit velo off the tee is but he already has warning track power on 350-400 fields. He also tops out at roughly 82 mph on the mound, sitting at 78-79 a few months ago, and has five legitimate pitches already. Do you think him going to a power 5 school is achievable?
13 years old with five pitches already is so bad on your elbow and shoulder
@@xvnekdgxdwhat no it’s not, it’s all about arm care and genetics, I’m 15 and had surgery only throwing a fastball and change up
What’s his name?
@@user-rk7rl7tm5w up to 84mph now.

Uh oh
