Looking through PGCrosschecker's list of 2010 commits at various D1 schools, I'm noticing something - It seems like this year's class of LHPs doesn't throw very hard. I'm noticing quite a few mid-80s LHPs commit to some very good, even top D1 programs. Obviously, velocity is not everything, especially for LHPs, but this does seem to be bucking the typical trend. A bunch of LHPs with low-80s heat committing to D1s as well. Even on the higher end of the scale, I'm not sure if there's a LHP from this class who throws harder than 91.
Anybody have similar/contrary observations? Is this an unusual year? Or are there almost always a lot more hard-throwing RHPs in a given year? And does anyone know how 2011 looks for LHPs as a whole?
