Reply to "How fast does a LHP really need to throw to play D1 or D3?"

The OP was thinking academics would be the determining factor on its own and that isn't the case.

I know that in general athletic admits pass through less stringent academic standards; my main question was how much less athletic ability "high band" athletes have to show in order to still be recruited, and it seems that the answer is that the differences are minimal.

If the pitcher who throws with this type of velocity has the grades why not look at the top D-III programs in the Northeast

Yep, already am looking at a few; in fact, MIT may very well be my top academic choice. My concern here though is that engineering/economics (I'll likely major in one of these) at MIT is very demanding in itself and might be difficult to manage with baseball. And the other top academic D3 schools are mostly LACs and I admittedly have a preference for larger schools.
