I think velo is very important. I'm wondering at what age it's important to have it though. Knowing that velo can be added (and relatively safely), but control, command, and (maybe) feel are harder to teach, targeting a control pitcher that shows that there is still more left in the tank to add has been a development strategy for pro orgs that seem to be generating a lot of high level pitching prospects and MLB pitchers (Indians/Guardians have done this for a while, the Cardinals seem to have figured it out to some degree the last few years).

I don't know how it translates down though. I'm sure it does, and I'm sure that's something that Wes and Jay evaluate, but I'm still trying to figure out how.
