I've posted this several times in various threads on this board before, but I will do it again: I have personally timed dozens of in-game MLB throw-downs using frame-by-frame video at 60 FPS, and almost ALL of them are right around 2.0.

There was one and one only below 1.9.

I don't doubt that high school kids can throw a 1.9-ish throw in a simulated situation (my son did) but if major league catchers are throwing 2.0's in games, then I take the hundreds of high schoolers with "official" sub-2.0 times with a grain of salt as big as second base.
