Reply to "Va. Pitchers' MPH in Jupiter"

A college coach told me at the Arizona Fall Classic “ we are looking for kids who can get outs, if it was just velocity we would line them up and pick the ones that throw the hardest”

MLB scouts more of less do this because they figure once they get a guy who can throw consistently in the 90’s they can teach them to “pitch” I may be mistaken, but now days I think most kids throwing in the 90’s probably can pitch reasonably well anyway. The higher the level of the college program the harder you have to throw. So there are lots of places for kids in college throwing mid 80’s, you just need to find the place. It is just part of the process.

So we go full circle back to the radar guns, at least for draftable kids, and ones going to high level D1’s. PG I think your 100 guns are safe for now. Wink
