BPGuyfor2020 posted:Exit velo tells you how fast is traveling off a bat- I'd say that's a significant number. If you look on perfect game or PBR, you'll see an exit Velo of 95 is a very good number. In my son's class in Texas (2020), there are a little over 30 guys in the entire state that have tested 95 or better. Almost all of these players are committed and it seems like most of those are D1 or very good JUCO's. While size my influence a scout's perspective on projectability, exit velo is exit velo. 95 is 95 whether from big guy or small and its a very good number. Some coaches are really big on it and others aren't as focused on it- from our experience. For the ones that are in to it, it'll get them to watch you play, but they'll still want to see what the kid looks like in person.
thx for the reply. Yeah, that's where I was going with this. The thought process had always been pretty steady and along the lines of what @ABSORBER is suggesting. But that number just kind of jumped out to me. Felt like an equivalent of him being able to throw 90 (which he can't do, at least not yet). Feels like a potential separator.
