So much here... 90>87. Period. But the good news is both will probably make it. Regardless of the nay sayers you simply have to do a little independent research and you will see D1 is littered with guys who topped 87 in high school. So if you are throwing 87 with good command you are a D1 prospect. Just maybe not a Sunday pitcher at a power 5!
Tall is an advantage. This topic has been the proverbial dead horse around here so I will leave it at that.
FYI from a previous conversation on here I learned MLB pitchers throw about 41% strikes. Trick is making your pitches close enough for a swing but not easily hit. So command is essential - high strike percentage is bad as others have eluded to.
Finally I am going to carefully read the stuff from Kyle - thanks for posting!

FYI, Clayton Kershaw has a 69% strike ratio.
