Reply to "Minimum Velocity to pitch in college"

HS underdog team making deep run in state playoffs recently vs a nationally ranked team. Underdog team, starting RHP at 5-8, 140, and sitting 73-75 was untouched through 3.1 innings. With score tied at 0-0 after 3 1/3, and a runner on 2nd due to Error, coaches assumed game would be decided by 1 or 2 runs, so they bring in their Big Gun who sits 88-90, tops at 92, to shut it down. Got shelled. Balls flying all over the field. Place went from cow pasture to construction site in an instant.

First guy's 73mph was impossible to square up (had no-no thru 3.1), but reliever's 88-90mph appeared to be BP for their hitters. Wasn't pretty.

Now take a guess which one has the D-1 scholarship for next fall?
