🚀 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.
