My favorite anecdote was a couple of parents discussing the Lakepoint radar when my son was pitching -- guy argued that their team's pitcher was throwing faster than that radar and my son was throwing slower. Not sure how the same radar could be deflating one kid's numbers and inflating the other's. While my kid hit a personal high, it was a couple of MPHs harder, not 5+.

Velocities posted on the scoreboard at Lakepoint are with the hand held Stalker (or more appropriately, leaned against a box of baseballs). The official velocities recorded for the tournament, daily leaders, top velocities etc are from Trackman. Their is often a slight difference, some due to rounding.
