I don't think some parents are "making stuff up". It's more benign than that. There's just a general tendency to overestimate speed. Parents are certainly not going to underestimate speed.

I catch myself doing it sometimes. If my brother asks me how fast my son is, I'll give him the fastest read time on the warmest day on a Jugs, not cruising speed in the wind at sea level on a Bushnell.

Anyway, like I said, I'm no expert..just a pop who's been around.
I'd definitely recommend if you want to see some "average" high school pitch speeds, check PG's listings for some of the state showcases.
