Unbelievable how we went from rarely any HS kids hitting 90mph 20 years ago to what it is today.  Back then if you threw 90 you were considered a phenom.  Ryan Mills threw low to mid 80s as a senior, touched 90 once (after impromptu weighted ball training) in front of scouts and got drafted in the 13th round by the Yankees in '95.  Ended up throwing 95 in college and got drafted #6 by the Twins.  Nagging Injuries and I believe a refusal to have TJ surgery (which at the time was extremely controversial and damaging to your reputation) shortened his career.
