Peaking Early?

I've seen a lot of videos from HS players throwing indoor in both practices and winter showcases/camps with them hitting their top speed mentioned in the caption.

Why are these guys at 100% so early? I know the season is starting up in some of the southern states, but even in November/December. Guys that aren't able to take a mound until April are hitting their top speed of 86 at a "scout day" somewhere. I know everybody has their own method, but is this normal?

I guess the question is why are guys throwing so hard all winter and why are committed kids still attending showcases? In December nevertheless.
