Thought I would share this with all of you nervous high school pitchers with college aspirations…
I heard a college pitching coach tell a group of high school pitchers the following:
…I see thousands of prospective pitchers each year at showcases that start in the fall and run through the summer. 90% of all pitchers throw between 78 and 82 mph. 5% throw below 78 mph and 5% throw above 82 mph. So, how do you seperate yourself? Well, you can do me a favor and not run to the next station or not look at me when I’m speaking to you. For those of you that do that, thank you, you just made my job a lot easier…
I LOVED that.
