I remember low 70s before she got hit. Very nice piece on flo softball about her and being hit and coming back.I can't remember was she throwing that fast at Missouri?
Heres a recent game against Baylor, Parker is clocked at 63-65, Lowary is 70-75, most everybody is late on her. I have no doubt Lowary is throwing that hard, so far she is the only pitcher I've seen a team use the shift, no left fielder against rhb's.

Bill,
I went to a NPF game in Chicago two years ago. I brought my pocket radar. You can get some good seats there and I had a good spot behind the plate to get speed readings. I saw some big name pitchers and the fastest speed I clocked was 65 MPH. They averaged around low 60s in the game I went to. Im also in town of a Big 10 college and I pull out the Pocket Radar sometimes to see what they're throwing in Big 10 comp. Yes, its not Paige Lowary, but fastest Ive clocked is 67 and average is low to mid 60s. I agree with Bill, ESPN gun is juiced. But, on the flip side, its a great confidence booster for the pitchers.
I took my PR a few years ago to Rosemont and sat front row behind the plate and put it directly aside of the stadium gun. With Monica Abbott in the circle the scoreboard registered 72-75 on almost every pitch. My PR showed 4-5 mph slower on EVERY pitch. Ego boost ��*
Would be curious to use it on MLB pitching...
...But yet I have people arguing with me that their 12U pitcher throws 60 and there are a multitude of 10U pitchers out there throwing 50+...
I have 3 girls at my facility that throws 60+...14U and 2 girls who are 16U on my radar.

She hits 75 all the time...
From last years WCWS...look in the bottom right corner after she throws it...
