Watched Carrie Eberle (VT) pitch against Megan Goode (JMU) a few years ago. Both teams had girls behind the backstop using the radar on every pitch. Eberle was consistently 68-69 and hit 70 once. Goode was consistently 70-71 and occasionally hit 72.

Extremely. As I said in a different post, I'd say it's less than 15 in any given year, probably less than 10.

Not 100% positive but I believe Valerie Cagle was another 70 mph pitcher from Clemson.

I am thinking about 1% of DI softball pitcher can throw 70 mph.

I believe Taran Avelo, Washington, could hit 70. She’s definitely the fastest I’ve ever seen in person.

It looks like a lot of these pitchers get close to ‘coiling’ with their lower body. Drive foot toes and knee point to 3B for righties, 1B for lefties before the back leg/hips drive through. Not much heel over toe.
