PWE - I agree on arm strength for position players. You are right the more top flight measureables you can have the better. I've been looking at corner infielders from mid majors and one trend I'm seeing that you used to see more from SEC schools and Power 5's is high school shortstops playing college 3B. High School shortstops who run 6.9-7.1 are getting moved to 3B.

I have seen 3B's at mid majors whose PBR profiles show 77-82 mph infield velocities. That surprised me a little, although I suspect that their throwing velocity increased once they got on campus. UW Milwaukee has a 3B who was All Conference in the Horizon League who threw 77 on his PBR profile, for instance.
