and also the 80-85 mph might be true for OVERALL average of D3 pitching but just not the case for son's team or league or schedule. I bet it is the same for these teams that made it to Appleton too. MAM said what the 4 freshman are throwing at their school and all 4 above 85. It is tough to get recruited to D3 nowadays at 80-85.
Almost every D3 team seems to have guys much higher - it is the depth that falls off for most schools. Son's team has several 90+ guys, and most guys are 85+.
