Around_The_Horn posted:YoungGun mentioned Jupiter and the number of pitchers there throwing 90+. Here are the exact numbers:
Number of Pitchers: 926
Number of Pitchers Throwing 90+: 197 (21%)
Number of RHP Throwing 90+: 177 (25% of RHP)
Number of LHP Throwing 90+: 20 (9% of RHP) Special note - 15 of the 20 are exactly at 90.
As of a month after Jupiter (Data only for 2017 Pitchers):
Percentage of RHP throwing 90+ committed: 84%
Percentage of LHP throwing 90+ committed: 93% Only 1 had not committed
Velocity of RHP in which at least 50% of Pitchers were committed: 88 MPR
Velocity of LHP in which at least 50% of Pitchers were committed: 85 MPR
I hope that this is helpful.
Very helpful, correlates perfectly with what my eyes tell me. If you took those 197 players and gave each of the 300 D1 program 1, there would still be 33% +/- schools without a 90+ kid. As we know SEC schools like to stockpile these guys, so even fewer to go around for the other D1 programs.
Thats why when I watch BTN or the Big12 or PAC 12 baseball I will most likely see 2 kids sitting mid 80s. Makes perfect sense.
