Reply to "What velocity is necessary to get onto a college roster at certain schools?"

IF Dad  "No matter how hard we try as parents, it is problematic for us to understand how much better our son's need to be to compete once they get beyond HS. (again, leaving out that top tier of players who have challenges but perhaps different ones in many ways at top tier programs.)"

Ain't that the truth!  With my only baseball player now a HS senior, I am following former teammates and opponents who are in freshman through junior years of college.  Especially among the pitchers it's astounding how many kids who were really, really tough at-bats in HS have struggled mightily in college. There are a few who go the the other way, but not many.

Also, 2019, I'd count on those numbers climbing.  For example the top incoming freshman RHP at Cal was throwing mid-upper 90's last spring, yet if you looked him up on PG you'd see him at 93 before senior year of HS.
