Bum,
I agree and disagree. Kids who have more repeatable mechanics can throw nearer the top of their velocity range and still throw strikes. That would give the impression that they have greater velocity.

Other than that in general I've found that the harder throwers don't have to develop as good of control early on so they don't, while a lot of the soft tossers are forced to develop control and even command in order to compete. Also the soft tossers who can't develop the control are gone pretty quickly.

Now some of the truly elite guys are out facing top competition almost all the time and they have to develop decent control to compete even with a pretty good fastball.
