Reply to "Average Pitch Speed for Senior in H.S"

Coaches are also prone to stretching truth.  Our coach told our kids a guy on the rival team was throwing 93.  Our kids were not excited about facing him.  We saw the kid pitching against another team in a tourney.  A coach from the college he has signed with was there watching him with the gun.  Kid sat 87 and hit 89 a few times.  I made sure our kids heard the gun readings. It took a bit of mystique away from the kid who had signed with a SEC school.   

Not that it mattered.  When we faced him he 3 hit us with 7 Ks over 8 innings.  However, our pitcher who sits 83-84 matched him over those 8 innings.  Giving up 3 hits with 2 Ks.  It was 1-1 after 8. Both pitchers reached the pitch count limit of 120 on the last batter of the 8th. Great pitching duel.
