I remember when the pitching distance went from 54 feet to 60 feet and suddenly many guys who were effective at 54 feet could no longer pitch anymore at 60. The additional two feet might have the same effect at the high school level. Just a few years ago when my son was a freshman, I remember seeing all the 6a varsity pitchers throwing at least 84 mph FBs and many upper 80s touching 90 and higher. Now I see many varsity pitchers throwing mid to high 70s and they are pretty effective - not sure all of them will be at a distance of 62 feet though. Hard to say.
