Thinking about trying out for Minor/MLB

As a pitcher. I pitched most of my life from when I was about 7 years old to 9th grade and got out of it.. Although after watching baseball I was thinking why not!? I might as well try. I could pitch high 70's low 80's back in high school but I have no clue what I can throw now.

What do you guys think? I am a little nervous but hey sometimes you have to step up and go for it.

I am going to start practicing all winter and hope for the best when I go to tryouts.

That would be simply awesome. If you don't try it you will definitely kick yourself later on in life.

What type of pitches do you have, other than a fastball? Sinker? Slider?

Go for it!
I was a pitcher in little league and played up until high school. I never went and tried out at high school and now as a 5th year college student, I'm regretting it. Pitching was the one thing that I loved to do sports wise. I just wish I would have stuck with it. Now I'm way too out of shape to even consider going back.

Best of luck to you.
