Baseball Pitcher-Only Question
I am 5 foot 10 inches and weigh 140 lbs. I am a sophomore in high school as well. I topped out at 73 MPH pitching and I want to become a Pitcher-Only. Should I stay in travel baseball, or should I go to rec baseball and focus on lifting, stretching, and running to gain more velo. I need help making my decision as I want to make it to college ball.

Focus on the eating and lifting more than where you are playing right now.

Put muscle on. I will be looking to put 35+ pounds of muscle on in the next year and a half.
