I've been to 4 games....one of the top guys in our area was 85-86. Our top guy is 80-81 and the other guys I've seen have been anywhere from the upper 60's to low 70's

Once again I think the term "average" makes this a little difficult. Maybe the better metric might be a school's #1 pitcher with both max and sitting speeds. Our team has a pretty wide range and I'd guess the "average" is around mid-70's, but #1 is more like mid-80's. Did face a kid who maxed out at 97, but he is an outlier. That said, many of the larger schools around here have a kid or two throwing 90+ - may not be their #1 starter and may or may not be effective as my kid swears he can hit just about anybody as long as they throw it perfectly straight.
