Our hs has had a lot of guys throwing low to mid 90s and this is the HS coaches philosophy. He believes that hs kids can't hit 90+. that is just not true. It works during regular season, for the most part, but in playoffs, you better have more.

The original question centered around MLB scouts. If a high school kid with a legit 95 in his back pocket has a “nibble the edge” mind-set against teenage hitters then good luck with the minors. I answered the question from a purely mental standpoint. Also that same scout could care less who wins/losses. He is looking for tools that can play up. Like I said before, flash the bender for some intrigue then blow them away with 4 seamers located up in the zone. That is what the scout came to see.
