This what the scouts wanted. Velocity was secondary, ability to "own" the mound is #1.

Don’t you think most top half of D1’s are looking for righties that own the mound at 90+ and lefties at 88+? If a kid throws 95+ there’s some leeway on control?
Given only 18-20 players on the roster need to contribute there’s a lot of leeway for coaches to take recruiting risks.
