No, he was probably suggesting there are a much higher volume of people and potentially gifted athletes in those regions so you'd be far more like to face the dude slinging balls at 90+ in those areas as opposed to the Midwest. Sort of the same equation with football players and basketball players...more likely to find superior talents in those states.

The best baseball players typically come from warm-weather states, and I know plenty about youth sports to say that most claims of how hard a kid throws are completely incorrect. |

my little brother is only 5'9" and maybe 155 soaking wet but has long arms and he can whiz the chit out of a football. He also threw upper 80's as a pitcher. Its all in the mechanics.

I know a kid from my hometown that played at JCCC that threw 95 and he was considered a freak back home. He was drafted my the Dodgers two years ago in the 5th round. |

It's rare as hell for a kid to be throwing in the 90s, and those who do are playing at top collegiate programs or they are getting drafted. |

MLB teams with draft a kid that throws 90+ even if he struggles finding the strike zone. They figure they can teach him location but you can't teach velocity.

about 55 yrds. i know I can hit someone in the endzone standing on the 50 yd line. Did it all the time playing flag football at MU.
A lot of it has to do with the size of your hands. granted theres technique in throwing a football, but have you ever seen the size of Elway's hands? that guy could wrap his gorilla fingers around the damn ball. no wonder he could chuck it 80 yds. |
