My experiences have been that you must have velocity to be consdered a Prospect or MLB projectable. By why do we always point to that? There are quite a few big league middle relievers who throw 85-89, not many below. There are as many below 85 guys as there are 98-100 guys, very few. If a guy is a late pick in the draft and toiles in the minors for a few years and gets people out, the big club will give him a chance. The key up top is can the guy get 'em out. If he's an 87 guy or a 94 guy and he consistently gets the hitters out, he'll get a chance. He may not be on the scouts radar and hot lists while in school, but he may get drafted late or sign as a free agent after some independent ball. Opportunities exist for those who never give up.
