Reply to "Questioning how fast to be small D1 pitcher"

Not what I was expecting when I saw the title about "small D1 pitcher".

I went to a Calif. JC game Saturday and it went mostly as expected with some good starting arms, one RHP probably 86-88 with good command, the other a crafty lefty, maybe 84 tops but good deception and movement. Both programs are pretty strong and have rosters full of athletic baseball builds. But then the team with the righty starter brought in a lefty in the 8th in a 2-1 game with bases loaded, 1 out. This kid was listed as 5'4" and that was probably a stretch. Looked like he wore a size 5 shoe, chubby and out of shape. Junker. High 70's mayyyyybe. Warming up, didn't look like he had particularly good control and breaking stuff looked very HSish. I was scratching my head because I know they had some good relievers available (one of whom I came to see). Infield fly, ground out. Got the job done. Drove those two hitters nuts.
