For those of you that follow the pitching ninja, you already know this, but for those that don't, pitching has changed a lot in the last 5 years. Every team in the majors has at least 1 guy that throws in the triple digits, many have more than one. Hunter Greene just threw 39 pitches over 101mph in his last start, a new MLB record. 98mph 2 seamers are commonplace, as are change ups with 24 inches of arm side run. Sliders that look like frisbees and 85mph knuckle curves are everywhere.
Strike outs are up, because pitchers are freaking aliens now. Hitters are so good, some still bat over .300, but they would be tearing the cover off the ball if they were transplanted into 1988.
I say this because in probably 5 years, major colleges are going to look the same. Your elites are going to have a couple of guys that are hitting triple digits in college, (Tennessee already has 2) and the second level schools from major conferences are gonna have guys that are sitting 95+ filling out at least half of their staff.
Places like EMspeedtraining and Top Velocity with the 3X training method and many others, can take almost any above average or physically gifted high school pitcher and have them throwing in the 90's. Take a kid that can throw 90 almost on his own, and that kid will be closing in on triple digits. The "arms" race is just heating up.
Of course, elbow ligaments are still made out of pitiful human flesh, so only so many of these newly created super throwers will be able to do it for more than 5 years without needing TJ surgery, but it doesn't really matter in the long run, because you can always get more high velo arms.
With MLB cutting down the number of MiLB teams, and fewer rounds in the draft, more kids are going to go the college route. Or maybe the Mexican leagues and even the NPB start getting kids from the states that really don't want to go the college route.
In the end, college baseball is going to get a lot better. A rising tide lifts all boats, but there will be further separation between the haves and have nots.
Watch this Blake Trienen overlay and how filthy it is, and realize that there is so much more filth out there that makes this look almost pedestrian...
