[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 46486, member: 541271"] Are any of the pitchers really good, another words can play at a higher level but choose not to. I mean, you don't need to throw 90 mph to be good, I pitched just as good throwing 80 as opposed to throwing 85, I actually had a much lower ERA (.79) when I was only throwing around 78-80 mph. My senior year era was around 1.90, and I was clocked throughout the game throwing 83-84, occasionally hitting 85. But I could hit the catchers just about everytime. One game I remember, the ump was giving me the call as long as I hit the catchers mit, we had him making calls a foot off the plate. They ump came up to me after the game and told me he used to be a catcher, and the game of pitching is hitting your location, if you can hit the catchers mit, I'll give you the call 80% of the time. I ended up throwing 79 pitches that game, 60 something for strikes, finished with 13 K's and a 1 hitter. [/QUOTE]
