Well, this is turning into a fun discussion anyway.

Regarding the OP velo aspect - Forget the numbers for a moment. Forget the pitcher combo because we are only talking about the OP's son's ability to attract college attention as it relates to his velo and POP time and ability to throw a runner out. I will offer up this simple observation... I have not seen a prospect get any attention as a catcher that has the arc on his throw that OP's son currently has. I have not seen a catcher at the college level, any division, get meaningful playing time with the arc that the OP's son currently has.

I see a lot of good things in this kid but, unless the video is distorted, his arm strength/velo has to improve. I have no doubt that it will... just sayin'. They want to see that throw on a line, not an arc.
