Reply to "How Strong Are D1 Baseball Players?"

We all know that to meet D1 standards most kids will have to throw 90 (or somewhat close to it), have an exit velocity of 90 (or somewhat close to it), run a 7.0 sixty (or somewhat close to it), but I was wondering how strong D1 baseball players are?
For those with current or past college players, what are the normal thresholds, along the lines of the players can at least do this amount (leaving out the outliers, like a tiny SS who is lightning fast but not strong))?
Back squat max? 350 lbs? 400 lbs?
Deadlift?
Are there significant differences between pitchers and position players?
Thanks in advance.

Don’t they use a formula for back squat max? Ex: 8 x 315 equates to around 400 max. Probably going to blow out some backs & knees if loading it up.
