Reply to "Pitching Machine Velocity"

Are you talking about a HS team?  95-100 mph won't be real beneficial.   You'll likely only have a couple kids who can touch it.  Most of the kids will be so scared of the ball coming that fast that trying to figure out the dots and colors will be pointless.  If you want to work with them to hit it....that's fine....but set it at 86-88.  That will be the equivalent of 90+.   Keep in mind, a pitching machine is much tougher to hit at 90mph than hitting a pitcher at 90mph because you don't get to see a windup or any arm motion.    Also, the fact that you're likely talking about being indoors in artificial light is another detrement
