Yesterday my son went to a showcase - small one and his first real one. Well one kid who threw the highest velocity across the diamond literally took 4 or so shuffles after fielding the ball. I even made a comment as to why throw it to first base - just run it - he was so close. I was informed by my son that - that is done to increase the throwing velocity. I found that interesting.
He said they also had a timing mechanism that would clock the time of the play. Have not seen any numbers yet. Also will be interesting.
