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

This is 100% correct and are the parameters that D1 RCs are given to work with in most programs. Doesn’t make it right but it’s the way it is and it’s only getting worse. I coach a lot of HS kids that throw 85-89 mph FBs. All they can think about is reaching 90 while we are trying to get focus off of velo and teach them how to pitch. Drives us crazy. Velo is king and always will be - as frustrating as that is.
