I have heard a lot of exaggerations from dad's when talking about their sons. However, I've also heard the truth from some. One dad told me last spring that his kid will throw 90 at one of the sunshine showcase events. He topped out at 94!

I guess the harder they throw the less the dad exaggerates. We had a kid that touched 99 mph this year, actually 100 at another event. Using the 7 mph theory, his dad would be claiming his kid throws 107 MPH. (LOL) If a dad told you his kid throws 107 mph, would you subtract 7 MPH and think he throws 100 MPH? Or would you think Dad is an idiot?
