How many 90MPH fastballs have your players faced this year?

How many scouts do you see at HS games looking at the guy with a 83 MPH fastball and a killer change up?

It works all in relativism. A good change-up has the same exact effect in high school or the majors.

There are plenty of pitchers in professional ball most of which can throw 90+mph (if not all minus just a few). Of those who is effective? The guys who have great offspeed pitches. A pitcher with 91 mph velocity coupled with a great change-up will advance to the majors way quicker and is more projectable than a pitcher who throws 96mph with a weak change-up. Whos more deadly- pitcher with an average fastball with above average change-up or a a pitcher with above average fastball but weak change-up?
