It is control and command and secondary pitches. We had over 200 pitchers throw 90 or better at the 17u. Many of those pitchers were 94 or better. A couple -pitchers we selected for the All American game are two outstanding lefties that can really pitch and a RHP with the best curve ball we have seen in a HS pitcher. We have a few this year that throw 97-98 at times and they can pitch.
Big velocity and can't throw strikes is interesting, but lower velocity that can be thrown where it is effective is better. Still, a certain amount of velocity is extremely important. I always check K/BB, swings and misses are good, but called strikes are just as important. IMO
