Here is a rough idea of where HS pitchers need to be at velo wise to be a recruitable college pitcher: D3: 78-80+ D2: 83-86+ D1: 87-88+ There are many factors that can influence those numbers (age, height, off-speed stuff, etc), but I hope this helps.

When I was coaching in college, I went to watch a kid pitch based on a recommendation from his HS coach. The coach said he was throwing in the low 80s, good CB, etc. I made the hour drive to the game and he was throwing 72-74. I did not stay long.

The Importance of Velocity in College Recruiting. @Lunderton & @JimmyJackson28 "I'm not driving across the state to see a kid throwing 74mph." "If we bring in a kid that's throwing 78-82 and I swear he can really pitch...well, he better." From:

It was Opening Day yesterday for this little guy yesterday. It’s pretty awesome coaching his team. We have three rules that I hope never change as they get older. 1. Work hard 2. Learn something new everyday 3. Hustle all the time

Congratulations to 2023 RHP Jake Bean on striking out 18 in a complete game performance vs. Harvey HS. He also struck out 17 in his first start of the year. How many K's will Jake have by the end of the season?

There’s a lot to like about 2025 @WJHS_Baseball RHP @LannHarper . He was up to 84.6 down the mound today and he has already made great adjustments in the VIP program. He is also incredibly focused and hard working. @PrepBaseballOH @kaczmar_chris

I appreciate @jake_bean07 taking the time to share his story about what it has been like to train with us for the last three years. He points to the atmosphere, the coaching staff, and the players as making an impact on him over the years. Good luck this spring, Jake!
