Bum,
Thanks for doing all that work. Average fastballs are around what I would have guessed.
pitching101,
These are the average peak velocity of 100s of pitchers that "Bum" has compiled. In fact, he even went to 1,000 pitchers in the final numbers.
The information is available to anyone who would like to do the math. Even without doing the math, one can get the idea by looking at the results. For example here is a link to ther workout results for position players and pitching velocities during the actual games.
Remember this was the National, so the [players are many of the very best prospects in the nation.
Also, remember that many of these pitchers we've recorded even higher gun readings at other events (For example Cory Rasmus is listed in this link as topping out at 91 at the National, but he was uo to 97 mph in the PG WWBA Championship in Jupiter.
Also keep in mind that most pitchers average fastball is usually a couple miles lower than their top speed. Very seldom, if ever, do we see a pitcher throw only one pitch 5 mph harder than any other pitch. In fact, when a scout sees one reading 5 mph higher than any other pitch, he will usually disregard it.
I've read many times where people say a pitcher throws 85 mph and then pops one at 92 and the 92 is listed. That just doesn't happen, it's nearly impossible!
Anyway, Here is the link, you can scroll down to see everything including 60 yard times. (60 was run on absolute perfect running conditions, which explains the fast laser readings. It did include many of the fastest players in high school baseball. - PG National Player Results
