Nonamedad, there are a lot more 90+ arms out there than you think. Just go to Perfect Game website and search the big tournament in Jupiter. There are over 100 kids topping at 90 and above. Now when you compare that number to the 1000s of kids playing HS baseball I guess it's not a lot. But I can assure you not all the 90+ guys are in professional baseball. My son's college team has 8 guys who ar consistently 90 or above. That doesn't mean every pitch is 90, but they hit 90 or above multiple times in an outing. We have at least 3 guys that can easily get 94-96. Don't let anyone fool you. Velo is what gets you noticed.

Check out Florida, Vandy or UNC pitchers. They are full of 90+ arms. I would go out on a limb and say all of them have at minimum a half dozen guys that pitch 90+.
