Reply to "how hard do I have to throw to go D1"

As a follow up to the last post and to answer the original OP, I'm not stating you MUST throw 90 to play at a D1. All I can tell you is from my son's experience, if you don't have the plus velocity, you need pinpoint precision, a bulldog mentality or some other makeup factor that a college recruiter is looking for. My best advice would be to go watch a few games of any schools of interest. See with your own eyes the types of pitchers they recruit. This will give you the best idea of whether you could compete for playing time at that particular school. Even the programs with multiple 90+ arms also have multiple upper 80s guys. The question is, which of those guys are getting the bulk of the innings. The bottom line is the coach has to win and will use the guys that give him the best chance. The issue is you have to first show the coach something that will get you recruited before you ever have a chance to win a spot.
