@22and25 posted:Agreed, I was speaking specifically with my PO blinders on. My 2022 is a PO and none of the schools he has spoken to have ever asked for a pull down velo.
If that kid throwing 82 from the mound is a PO, no coach is going to care that he can pull down 95.
I disagree. If a kid can throw 95 w/ a crow hop from the OF it tells you that he has that potential from the mound. If he is only 82 from the mound that indicates that something in his delivery is killing his momentum and lowering his velo. A good pitching coach can figure it out in about 5 minutes. Then it’s a matter of whether or not the player can make the necessary adjustments. A kid like this would be considered a project at a lot of programs and they wouldn’t be interested. But a JuCo that has a good reputation for developing pitchers would be the perfect place for that kind of project.
