Not too many people in pro ball like being hit with 92-95 mph fastballs. Hands and wrists get broken. Time is lost. In the big leagues it could be your best player going down. So I will beg to differ that guys are marching to plate willing to take one for the team so to speak.
At the lower levels of college there are certainly guys who don't mind getting hit with 85. Also remember that in college you now must make an attempt to get out of the way. So if you want to stand there and take it then I guess you could just stand there and take it till you can't take it any longer or until you decide to make an attempt to get out of the way.
If you get a reputation for not pitching in it will be a slow miserable existance as a pitcher.
