Ahmad Harajli, U Michigan Baseball, Increased Mound Velocity From 85 To 96.7 MPH In 26 Months
Ahmad joined our remote programming platform, trying to get one last bump in velo before finishing up his senior year in high school with hopes of playing in college. For a young, healthy athlete that gets behind a good program, works hard, and stays consistent, we often see a significant jump in the big metrics, Ahmad is an excellent example of this, as you will see below.
7/29/2018 Metrics:
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 225lbs

Deadlift 1RM: 565lbs
Bodyweight Chin-up: 14 reps
Reverse Lunge 1RM: 275lbs

Top Mound Velocity: 91mph
The formula helps give perspective to what big domino will move the athletes’ performance in the right direction— fast. This is highlighted in his addition of 6mph in 5-months prior to his PG year. Ahmad has since taken a PG year at IMG academy and started playing baseball at the University of Michigan beginning this fall.
10/9/2020 Metrics:
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 240
Deadlift 1RM: 625lbs
Bodyweight Chin-up: 14 reps
Reverse Lunge 1RM: 425lbs
Long Toss: 370 feet
Top Mound Velocity: 96.7mph
In my opinion, his use of a PG year was perfect. He had the skill set to play at the next level and set-up a plan to make sure he was progressing and being seen by his dream schools. An option that many high school juniors and seniors dealing with the hurdles of corona redshirts should evaluate.
