Not quite sure how accurate these speeds are on ESPN but I see the majority of pitchers throwing in the low 60’s along with just a few throwing 65+. Can this be true? Wasn’t there just a thread along the lines that you have to throw 65+ to get a look from an Power 5 coach?

Juiced up 3-4 MPH. I watched FSU’s freshman pitcher live, she looked 59-62, but in Clearwater her speed is 63-66.

The FSU pitcher Sandercock came out of the travel organization my daughter plays for and she's a legit high 60's pitcher. We were at a JMU clinic back in January and Megan Good was hitting 74 on a pocket radar so I'd say those numbers are pretty close.

The current Oregon pitcher is throwing 52-55 mph for fastballs. This is like 14u B speed. She is getting destroyed.

Liberty Coach said the ESPN gun is 4MPH faster than pocket coach. She also said the fastest they faced last year was Garcia who was right at 70.
JMU pitcher looked like she was throwing 80 compared to that poor kid from Oregon. She did battle though

My DD transferred into a starting slot in the SEC and it was not until her first bullpen on campus that they realized she worked in the high 60's. All they cared about was her command, movement and how many bats she missed when she threw against them.
