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

Interesting thread dating back to 2003.  Seems velocity hasn't changed much over the 14 yrs...  

As the dad of a 2019 pitcher,  I am finding judging velocity by eye is very deceiving.  Even while watching a HS pitcher when he is being gunned I am off from pitch to pitch.  Say a kid is living around 82.  The next pitch looks hard and you check the gun and it's 80.  Than the next pitch looks soft and you check the gun and it's 83.  I have come to the conclusion until I see it on a gun I have no idea how hard someone is throwing.
