I can tell you that many teams are not there. I am not saying you wrong about your sons team but i would need to see those numbers myself before I believe it, the part of "most who saw time were mid to upper 80's" would be most stunning assuming that is defined as 87-89 mph

I have watched 4 years of D3 baseball, been to league playoffs and NCAA tourney and I have not seen or heard rumor of those types of numbers deep into a staff. I have watched / son played against multiple games vs 4 different teams that went to the D3 WS between 2018-21 and none of them had that.

I just personally gunned my sons friend, just completed Freshman year at a D3, who couldn't crack his rotation and he was cruising 87-88 for a few innings this past weekend.   I don't know what his teammates throw to be clear.  I hear you though, you would need to see it to believe it.  I do believe it - the two kids in 90's both taking graduate years at D1's.  My sons team and his friends team were top 15 and both are pretty high end D3 level baseball and the programs have been for years.

Also didn't Chapman have a guy low to mid 90's in 2019? Drafted?  To be fair to your point - these could just be one offs.  Sorry further clarity - you are correct my assumption were most were mid to high 80's who saw time.   I feel pretty good about it being mid 80's for the balance but I might have stretched that a bit.
