Homebuilder,

My son is a rising Jr. HS LHP so I've done a lot of research on this. A Diamondbacks scout at a college camp said he is required to write up any fastball 84+ (Stalker) but that will not get you drafted. I suggest you look at the draft itself to see what's out there. Have you checked out the draft itself? Here's the website:

On this site you can watch video of the drafted kids and see their radar results. Fascinating stuff! Generally, if LHP he had better be 87+ for the lower rounds, 89+ for the mid-to-upper rounds.. with "stuff". If RHP 90+ for the lower rounds and 92+ for the mid-to-upper rounds with "stuff".
