I'd say all other things being equal that the LHP needs to be throwing 87-88ish at a minimum. That would put the RHP at 91-92 mph.
At the college level 91-92 minimum for a RHP? I'd have to disagree with that one. That seems pretty high.
IMHO,
Pro LHP minimum = 87-88, topping 89
Pro RHP minimum = 88-89, topping 90
Small-Mid D1 LHP minimum = 83-84, topping 85
Small-Mid D1 RHP minimum = 85-86, topping 87
Major D1 LHP minimum = 85-86, topping 87
Major D1 RHP minimum = 87-88, topping 89
Small-Mid D3/Juco LHP minimum = 79-80, topping 81
Small-Mid D3/Juco RPH minimum = 81-82, topping 83
Major D3/Juco LHP minimum = 81-82, topping 83
Major D3/Juco RHP minimum = 83-84, topping 85
