as someone’s else stated, 83-85 isn’t hard. I don’t understand the fixation on those numbers as being “velocity”. In college, 90+ is hard. 83-85 is likely a lefty specialist or they have insane secondary pitches.

82-85 doesn’t really impress much regardless of control. Velocity gets you recruited, control keeps you in the rotation. Better develop both at some point

I'd say there are almost as many "college" pitchers throwing at or under 85 than over it.
