[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 3020313, member: 34435"] I've seen high school games as recently as 6 years ago where two teams combined for 6 or 7 "pitchers" who touched 90. And that was just in central Oklahoma and not even at the largest school division (although admittedly recruitment was pretty blatant). One of the kids involved wasn't allowed to pitch much in high school because his control was such that he was a danger to batters, umpires, mascots, and people working in the concession stand. You go to a decent summer event and you routinely see early 90's from many more. Go to an area code tryout or the Owasso scout day and you'll see 90's all day long. Been this way for a while now. Quotationed "pitchers" become some of these kids had not yet learned to "pitch" but they could bring velo. And IMO that's why velo isn't as intimidating to a lot of good hitters as it once was. Throw them an ankle-high change up on 2-0 and watch them corkscrew into the ground though. [/QUOTE]
