ETA: My son is a position player, not a pitcher, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would not get overly obsessed with how fast his fastball is. From what I'm seeing, there are plenty of D3 schools who recruit pitchers throwing in the low to mid 80s if they can locate and there are D1s who recruit kids throwing in the high 80s, especially if the college coaches think he projects to throw harder later.

I agree with this. However, D3 schools recruit the summer after junior year. So do low D1s. So, if that's where he's headed, no need to worry about recruiting right now, other than doing the best he can do against the best possible competition, and learning everything he can. That was my point about velo, and about my son's team's experience. All those kids ended up committing to D2 and D3 schools, in fall of senior year.
