Just so you know... There are first round picks every year that we have recorded below 90mph exit velocity. Two of our top 5 ranked position players have recorded below 90 max exit velocity.
We tend to get a higher level player at our events. The average exit velocity we have recorded for the 2017 class is right between 80-81 mph.
Only bringing this up because it appears your son is already way above average. In fact, the average for 2020 class is 75 mph. Obviously baseball scholarships and draft positions are determined by much more than bat speed and exit velocities. But anywhere around 90 mph is good enough for just about anything to happen, depending on what else is there.
Interesting, were those middle Infielders mostly? My son I think is shooting for the dubious distinction of being the only 100mph+ guy to not be recruited! Keep hoping his growth stops and his balance improves... maybe this will be the year. Or maybe he will continue to be a so so hitter with a ton of 'potential'. So PG if you're still checking this thread a question for you. In your experience I am sure you see 90+ pitchers who are wild with poor secondary pitches picked up by someone believing they can develop them. Do you see the same with hitters? So in other words will a school take a flyer on a kid with a 100mph EV?
