Like 68. My greatest accomplishment in baseball was going all Roy Hobbs down the left field line like 4 times in Little League... All 4 were foul.

My brother got all the baseball talent. He was in the mid 80s in high school. He now has a wicked two-seam that has topped out at 97. Slider in the low-mid 80s. He pitches in the Blue Jays organization.

83 sophomore year before I had to miss it for an injury. Didn't pitch after.

Tony Robicheaux clocked me at 91 in the bullpen at practice one day. I only threw about ten pitches. All between 89-91. None of them were strikes. I was a catcher

My 12yr old has low 80s fast ball. But he's 6ft 210lbs.

had a preffered walk on to Huntington and Florida gulf coast. And my high school was so stacked at my position I never made the team. Had three d1 players ahead of me at my position. East Cobb baseball ftw. That program got my name out and had more scouts notice me than I would have if I would have played anywhere else

I hit 80 with a lacrosse shot. I never played baseball in high school.


80 mph on lacrosse is probably high 60s to low 70s in baseball though.

Don't play baseball, but my friend, a current High School senior throws 95. He will be an early round selection in this years draft though.

80 my 8th grade year. Stopped pitching then. My arm got a lot stronger after not playing for a year though. Would be interesting to see how hard I throw now.

The highest my fastball was clocked was something like 200mph off the end of the hitter's bat.

This is me on my off-day workout.

Life in the fast lane.

This is what happens to guys throwing mid 80s in high school. It is remarkable so many of them post on the OT.

I threw 81 when I was 13, and 80 when I was 16. I was on a reverse performance curve. Turned me into a right fielder/first basemen pretty damn quick.

I broke my arm somewhere around age 12. After recovering I was clocked as high as 103 mph. Obviously this made me a sensation when word leaked out. I played professionally for a little while before retiring.

90 the summer I graduated HS.

I remember going to a TB Rays tryout at Episcopal during my junior year and Mike Woods from Broadmoor was hitting 92-93 on the gun as sophomore.
