JABMK:  "Velocity is a MUST or you don't get the opportunity to C at any level higher than HS." That's a fairly Nebulous statement.  So just to be clear, exactly what velocity gets a player past HS.  I was addressing 2FORU's assertion that you need to be near 90 to get there.  Based on PG's showcase reports, that simply isn't true.  Even low 70 velocities found D1 spots.  When you look at D2,D3, NAIA, and JUCO; the numbers are sure to go lower.  So... exactly what velocity are we talking about.

GOV:   My son and I started watching Cooper this year, and he is a beast.  We noticed him in a game against Texas A&M on the SEC network early in the season.  Now my son watches him every chance he gets.  I assume that Cooper's velocity picked up after the PG showcase, but I think that he got his commitments based on the high 70's, low 80's velocities.  Is that a good or bad assumption?

 

 

 

Cooper was low 80's to start... very strong kid with great training early on from an exMLB Catcher..
