We had a guy who graduated from my son's school in 2008 who threw 94 that spring. When he was gunned in the fall of his freshman year, he hit 72.

There's a senior right now who regularly hits 88. He has hit 88 for three years.

My son told me a story about a pitcher he worked with at a college camp. He was mad that he hadn't hit a certain number on the radar gun, so right before he went out for his last inning, he told the catcher he was going to throw the ball as hard as he could but had no idea where it was going to end up. His mechanics went all to hell, his control went all to hell as he tried desperately to hit this magic number. And that was his slowest inning.

I don't think anyone can predict anything.
