I don't doubt that there are individual kids who threw harder the week after a PG tournament, or month after, or whatever -- or kids who are secretly hitting 90 in their backyard or something -- but the intent was to gather verified data from lots and lots of pitchers. My off-the-cuff view of the data was sort of 83-85 for D3, 87-88 for mid-major, and 91-92 for top D1 -- those numbers wouldn't be the highest of recruited kids, but would not be the lowest either -- more middle of the pack (again, those are max velos as a rising senior or senior fall -- certainly the numbers could be higher later).

But that's just my view. I suppose the data could be interpreted differently, or discounted entirely, too.
