Shepster,

I'm not proclaiming to be a qualified expert on the subject, but I have seen tons of pitchers all over the West coast, in games and camps, etc., and have perused thousands of PG's profiles..mostly to see where my son stacks up. 78 seems about right. It might be lower than that, but I doubt seriously it's any higher.

Check out Baseball America's website. There's an article on the Area Code games from last year.. how even the elite pitchers barely scraped by the low 80's. One thing's for sure, there's a lot of parents and kids who way-overestimate their son's speed.

My own friend estimated his son at 85 and we did a tournament in Las Vegas and he was clocked on the Stalker at 75. (But I already knew he was full of it anyway, that's why he's my friend!)
