HS team is 1-4 on the year.
The first five pitchers we’ve faced:
SR 6’ RHP 90-92
JR 6’3” RHP 94-96
SR 6’2” RHP No radar but normally upper 80’s
JR 6’7” LHP 88-91
SR 6’3” RHP 89-92
RHP son is a 6’1” SR 85-87. Gets a yawn when he takes the mound. WTH! Not fair! Anyone else have to deal with this?

Sounds like a good league!
Our younger son played in a HS league in CA that could have those types of pitchers. But our team did too and so we won lots of games.
Son's Jr. year:
#1 starter - 90-93, after 3 years of WCC D1 was a supplemental round draft pick
#2 starter - 84-87 (our son), 4th year in Pac12 D1
#3 starter - 90-95, after 3 years as a SS at a Pac12 D1, now in the minor leagues
#4 starter - 87-91, lasted less than a year in D1 before injury and other things ended baseball for him.
That team was named #1 in nation by PG and Rivals.com after the year though.

I hope they would be because anybody better than that would be scary good.

No, we don't have to deal with that. We have a handful of D-1 Guys in our state, and 2 of them are on our team. (Maybe a few more than a handful, but not many more.)
Here's an example from last year in our area: http://www.latimes.com/sports/...20140224-column.html
In the same class this school had 3 PAC-12 scholarship pitchers, and a fourth who walked on at a PAC-12 team (and made the roster this year). The top junior pitcher from that team (a 2015) is also a PAC-12 scholarship kid, having signed this past Fall.
