So here's the big question. Which would you rather have/be? The guy who throws 95+ but struggles with accuracy and can't develop another pitch or two, or the guy who throws 85-maybe 90 but has 4-5 pitches he can throw whenever, wherever? I guess it's the difference between potential, and ability at that time.

note: both pitchers have the same build and any other "x-factor"

I'm not a scout (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express in CA) but the first pitcher is going to get every opportunity to succeed and will be a top 5 round draft pick. The second pitcher may or may not even get drafted. BTW, my son is in the second pitcher category.
