Nice work 2019. And I will add as I have in the past that I have personally gunned D2, D3 & NAIA kids in game and it is not rare to see cruising velocities in the upper 70's and low 80's. With PG and others starting to focus more on spin rate and spin axis the entire face of recruiting will change. Kids in the 90's will always be in demand. But instead of the kid throwing 86 with average spin you may see more kids throwing 82 with very low or high spin (more likely low). Technology is changing the way we look at baseball. Now if only the dinosaur coaches who still resist it would step aside! Disclaimer: not a knock on age - I am an old guy but smart enough to know these physics guys and tech guys are smarter than me!
