doubt he hits low 90's throwing sidearm. Mid 80's is probably more like it.
From the article in the OP:
"Spurning the D-I programs, Strall went to Tallahassee Community College. Under head coach Mike McLeod, Strall flourished. He went 7-2 with a save in 24 appearances. He had a 2.54 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings. He was versatile in middle- and long-relief appearances. He even made one start. He continued tweaking his mechanics – emphasizing lower-body strength – and eventually worked his fastball up into the low 90-mph range.
LSU first saw Strall with the Home Plate Chili Dogs in the Sunbelt Collegiate League, a summer league for college baseball players. Strall threw two innings, and LSU called that night asking if he’d make an official visit."

I saw the article with the quote, and I doubt that it's accurate. If the guy threw low 90's sidearm, he would go straight to MLB from juco. The article I linked is likely more accurate. We'll know for sure this Spring. Sounds like he's going to be a huge asset for us.
