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

Just have to add more 2 cents from our very real experiences:

Because PG now lists for some their ACT/SAT scores, there are indeed players (including pitchers) committed to Ivies with ACT scores as low as 26.  That was really disappointing, to be honest, to see. And their PG velo does not make them such studs (ie the 120 index mentioned above).  Recent Harvard RHP commit with 83 mph and a 30 ACT; Yale a LHP with a 30 ACT and 81 mph; Dartmouth has a guy with an equivalent 26 at 86 mph -- just to name a few.  The test scores are their best but their velocities may likely NOT be.  As mentioned they could easily have thrown faster at HF or Stanford or the school's own camp.   Our 2017 is listed on PG at 4mph less than what he threw this summer elsewhere (documented, not a dad with a radar gun).  So sadly his PG profile reflects a number which is not his best.  PLEASE try and remember that the velocity is a snapshot.  The test scores are unlikely to be a misrepresentation but the velocity very well may be, especially if captured from one event.
