Baseball Swing Technique Before and After – 7 Year Old

How Can I Be a Pitcher in the Major/Minor Leagues?

I’m a junior in high school next year(I’m 16) and will be on varsity for my first season. I live in New York and I’m about 30 minutes from New York City. It isn’t a large school but is near/plays big baseball schools in our area. I’m about 5’11″ and about 180 pounds. I have 4 pitches a 4 seam fastball, 2 seam fastball, change up, and slider. My fastballs aren’t too over powering in the 50-60 range but with very good placement(can always get them over for a strike). My 2 seam fastball runs inside to right hand hitters. My change could use more work to it(break, speed, and placement). My slider gets a lot of break to it and good speed(I get a lot of kids with it). Kids do not usually hit a lot of fly balls off of me they are mostly ground balls. My mechanics are very good(my motion stays the same every time). What could I do to make this dream a reality? Or is it pointless because I have no shot?

I am your age and I throw like 78-80 mph and I sharp hard curve, and I know I have no chance. You have pretty much no shot, but that doesn’t mean you should sacrifice the fun that you could have in the rest of high school and college playing baseball.
