How hard would a LHP have to throw to make a college team? What are the different numbers for different divisions, given decent control and other pitches? Thanks a lot.

Anywhere from 81 on upwards will give you looks. One of Miami's weekend starters last year was throwing 80.... and his arsenal included a 65mph curve. Make sure you get in front of the schools you wanna go to.
i also was wondering this however i am a RHP. What are the standards most D1 colleges, especially schools like Duke and UVA?
Duke and UVA being in the ACC ups the standards. My guess is that the average velocity for their RHPs is 85-88.
Im a RHP, I throw 86-88 consistanly. My curve is 69 mph, also I have a cut fastball (nice action) and a decent changeup at 69mph.
My question to you is why aren't I be contacted by any D1 schools?

MN--- I don't know what you've done in regards to exposure but; Get to a few quality national showcases. This will get you noticed by some college guys. WWBA in Jupiter in the fall is a huge opportunity for you to show your skills to upwards of 600 college and professional scouts.

Chen,
I had a LHP friend who pitched his team to the CWS throwing 79 but his command was off the charts.

Im a senior this year. This summer I play American Legion. This past year was bad for me. I broke my leg and wasnt able to go anywhere and pitch. I have attended like MSU-Mankato clinic in MN, and a MN Twins invite only try-out. Thats is pretty much it.
