Velocity of pitcher in high school

I understand that some people perhaps look for validation.  On the other hand people need benchmarks.

  It's not unreasonable for someone to try to get an idea of where they stand in relation to others who are reaching various milestones.  Am I high D1 quality or just a high school javee guy?

In the end, the board is not here to suit your personal tastes and it's  not your board to control who posts what.  If you don't like the thread, by all means avoid it.

My facts? What facts were given? This is an opinion site. People give their opinions. There are no experts here. People give a bunch of velocities that are supposed to be facts but they aren't as evidenced by the debate that happens after people list them. Too many people on this site operate as if they are experts and they're not. Feel free to give your opinion, which can interesting and helpful. We have parents on here trying to get some sort of justification or acknowledgment that their 11 or 12 year old is going to be good enough to be a D-1 player and people actually give feedback and advice like they know if a kid is big enough, strong enough, etc. It's maddening and frankly ridiculous.

I did say that perhaps I was a bit harsh. I also probably should have just started a new thread and not answered on this thread but it came on the heals of a few other threads where parents of young kids were trying to get answers about whether their kid was going to be good enough in 6 or 7 years to play D-1 baseball. I also said I stood by my comments about hard work and not letting people on this site define you. One guy on here said he was going to help the kid achieve his goals. Really? I'll be interested in seeing that.

If my tone was too harsh then I apologize to the kid. But I don't apologize for my message. It was a positive message and a lot more helpful then the majority of answers people give on here.

Wow, just wow!  Close the thread

Nope, wasn't even drafted...which is obviously part of a larger conspiracy based on the prejudice against "max effort guys". It's woven deep into the fabric of MLB and clearly not our fault. He should've been #1.
