Reply to "REAL Midwest prospects"

Guys,

I'll throw my 2 cents in....

I do a little scouting in the Midwest and the fastest player is a kid from Stevens Point, WI named Jake Owens, he ran a 6.42 at Area Codes.

I have also seen Flores....not a chance he is a 6.3...ever...there are only 1-2% of major league guys that are that fast. I would guess he's a 6.6-6.7 kid, which in itself is exceptional...probably puts him in the top 10-15% in the nation.

Beenthere is right on when he says that stats from local showcases often get inflated for various reasons.

The same is true when you hear of every other kid being able to throw 90 or better when in truth there are about 10-15 players in WI, IL, MN and IA combined that can do it consistently. Most guys that are perceived to throw 90 are usually 87-88 kids that get exaggerated by coaches, most of who haven't ever coached a 90+ kid.
