Back around the early 2000's I'd bet the typical SEC pitcher threw 88-90. Now it's probably 92-93 for the average ones. Heck- Tennessee has that guy that hits triple digits. You used to never see anyone like that in college. And some of these guys are like 6'1" 215 or something and not really that big like 6'5" 240 or something like that in a lot of cases.
It seems like every time we get a commitment from a high school player they're topping out at 92-94. That's what these kids have to do to play in the SEC nowadays.
Good points... back in the late 80's if you threw 88 from the right side you were a d1 prospect. Today if you throw 88 with movement from the right side you are a watch and follow guy.
