This is a bit off topic so sorry. When college recruiters or scouts look at a pitcher that say, cruises at 86-88, but occasionally touches 90, do they care more about the cruising speed or what the top speed is?
I'm certainly no expert however I would think it is the cruising speeds that make the most difference to colleges and pro scouts.
It's nice to know a kid can crank it up if needed however where you live for the majority of your pitches is what a coach can count on in the heat of battle.
