What do you guys think the chances are of me getting a pitching scholarship for baseball?
I'm 18 and finishing high school in a month or so. I've been a pitcher since I was 11 and have been the Ace by the end of the year for every team I've played for. I throw in the upper 70's to low 80's but with great accuracy. I also have a great curve and average circle change. I also throw a sidearm curve and fastball accurately to mix things up.
The only real problem is I've thrown curves consistently since I was ten. My arm never hurt besides last year. I made the varsity team my junior year at my high school but hurt my arm 3 practices in. I've given it over a year to rest before trying out for any colleges. It hurt every time I threw for about a month before I gave it the rest time. I've also pitched with some of my friends the past couple days and my arm feels stronger, and without pain. Do you guys think the injury will eventually reoccur or was it just a minor injury?
Right now I'm 5'10 145-150 with plenty of room to grow my arm strength to raise my m.p.h.
I know its hard to make a judgment on people when you can't see their talent in person but do you think from what I said I could get a scholarship to a small school at least?
