🚀 Jack Owen: From 86 to 90+ MPH — A Year of Growth on the Mound
🔥 Velocity Gains Backed by Performance Metrics
Jack Owen, a right-handed pitcher for the Viewmont Vikings located here in Utah, made one of the most impressive leaps of the 2025 season: increasing his fastball velocity from 86 MPH as a sophomore to over 90 MPH as a junior, with a few reports telling me he was as high as 93 MPH. But this wasn’t just a radar gun story — the results showed up everywhere.
His transformation wasn’t a fluke. With increased workload, sharper command, and more efficient mechanics, Jack elevated his entire game.
📊 Year-to-Year Comparison: Sophomore (2024) vs. Junior (2025)
🧠 What Changed?
Jack dedicated his offseason to:
Pitch Development Plans for improved movement and tunneling of pitches. Allowing for beating hitters in the strike zone with his full mix of pitches
ArmCare.com monitoring for sustainable gains and durability over the season. Adjustments of throwing programs day to day to ensure he was at a full gas tank every game he pitched.
Pitching mechanics refinement to increase efficiency and reduce wasted movement. Increased command and better energy transfer from feet to finger tips.
Mental game development to stay composed and aggressive in higher-leverage innings. See It, Feel It, Do It.
🎯 Why It Matters
Velocity is a separator — especially at the high school level. But Jack’s growth was holistic: more innings, more strikeouts, decreased opponent batting average, and a presence on the mound that screamed D1 potential. He’s gone from a projectable arm to a guy you game-plan around.
