By the way, How is Clark doing in baseball this spring or has Tech played any games? I know that some teams have played a few.

Sorry that should have been to vthokie22

You are wrong, I heard 100+ for two of them and upper 90's for the other two. One of the girls is in the mid 80's on the softball team and has already said she will play for VT. I guess the four bb pitchers will turn pro.

I seriously doubt that she throws that fast, and if she did she would be playing for someone better than VT.The best college pitchers throw mid to high 60's.

that was a smart remark.. cuz last year there were some Burton fans or players that got on here around baseball season and were saying that they had a pitcher that could throw in the low 90's.. Needless to say Burton didn't do too well in baseball

That was a follow-up to vthoike22 remarks. I know that those numbers aren't right. UT has a top notch pitcher in softball and only throws in the mid 60's. You want find but a very few HS pitchers throwing in the mid 90's. I saw Billy Wagner pitch in HS and I am not sure he did.

Billy Wagner threw maybe 80 in highschool. Uva Wise passed him up, and he went to Ferrum, worked on his mechanics and gained like 15-18 mph which literally never happens. THat is like gaining a foot and a ahalf on your verticle leap or knocking off half a second in your forty time.
