Plus there's the already pointed out lack of separation between RHP/LHP, and the fact that if the percentiles are based off peak velocities a lot of those are overstated and/or big outliers for the individual pitchers.

Where do these numbers come from? I'm not questioning them - they sound about right - I just wouldn't mind seeing them.

The percentiles?  I pulled up three 2016s I know and looked at the percentile listed (hover over the blue line) under their peak velocity for this season.

On PG, I assume. That would be specific to a particular event, right?

 

Yes on PG, but the implication from the percentiles listed is that it's for the entire class, so any 2016 that pitched in a PG event (this year, presumably, though it doesn't specify).
