In general league play I would say mid 70's. For a play-off pither you better be in the high 70's to low 80's. (for SoCal at least)

It is very difficult to seperate location and movement, the slower you throw the more movement you better have. So most pitchers I have seen working in the mid 70's with any success have good location and movement. If you throw a flat FB on the corners you will still be bammered by good hitting teams.
