He will throw 99-100 mph in a few years when his life becomes "athlete", instead of "student athlete".
In MLB His focus 10 months of the year will be SAC, mechanics, coaching, competition,etc.
If he continues to develop his breaking ball, and can pick up an effective 3rd pitch, he has top 10 pick written all over him.
He won't take long to make the big show either

Strength and size has a lot to do with it, but it is all interrelated with mechanics. The biggest strongest guy can have shitty mechanics and not throw hard and a little runt can have the best mechanics and not throw hard its a combination of the two.
But its also genetics. You need to have enough external rotation or "roadway" to be able to speed up the ball to a higher velocity while also having the mechanics to slow the arm speed down to protect your arm. If you look at pictures of truly elite throwers the amount that their shoulder externally rotates, which allows their arm to "lay back" is incredible. That is what separates the 92-93 MPH guys to the 98-99 guys
