re: A girl played D1 baseball for the first time ever

but a ton of MLB players throw 95+ mph fastballs now. The average fastball at the MLB level in 2022 was right at 94. Hell, every starting pitcher LSU has throws 95 or better, and a good number of the relief guys can. And that's just college baseball. So to say it's rare to face a major leaguer throwing 95 is just not accurate.

I wasn't talking about MLB though. I was talking about D1 Baseball. And just because they can throw 95 doesn't mean they are throwing that as a starting pitcher. And the relievers aren't throwing a lot of strikes at that speed.
Those numbers make you a Friday night starter on a very good D1 team. I stand by rare.
