Here is a thread from 2016 on throwing velocity:
Overhand throw speed
Can anyone enlighten me on how this is tested? Is it from a certain distance, or would a SS get measured differently than a CF? Thanks BDwww.discussfastpitch.com
Found an NFCA document from 2011 that says the top 10pct of D1 players throw >=61.9mph
The numbers he is quoting seem about right for game-like throwing conditions from the IF. Crow-hops,pro-steps, etc probably add at least 5 mph. In reality they should do pop-time like tests for IF for different types of balls if they wanted to get a true measure of effectiveness (the problem there would be producing consistent ground balls in order to get comparisons)Here's a good article and video about where girls should be and when. He also says a lot of girls have poor throwing mechanics, even at the D1 level, which I agree with wholeheartedly.

It's +5 if you are a pitcher parent.Am I supposed to do this as a pitcher mom?
I think that 61.9 mph would no longer be the top 10% of D1 players anymore. Maybe girls are throwing harder today but my guess would be more like 68 mph + would be the top 10%. I could be way off, really have no idea.
Of course, it would. An upperclassman is a grown woman. An incoming freshman is still a teenager.I would agree and I wonder if the stat would change if it was incoming freshman vs upperclassman.
