And game speed , movement , and by far most importantly location means more than simply just throwing it hard . But its fun to discuss . Throwing with velocity is important but not if you cant locate it . I think Waverly has a hard thrower , Coal Grove ( maybe ) has girl named Casey I think . She throws hard . Claxon at Burg will be upper 50's approaching 60 . Truth is if your game speed is 60 you are going to really successful around here . Haven't got to see Schaefer throw for a few years , look forward to seeing her . SSU had 2 dozen or so pitchers at camp in Feb , only 1 was above 60 .

If you want to see some heat go see Minford's K Conkey at Rio Grande . She hit 66 on 3 straight pitches against Shawnee last year , already No hit a top ranked team ,this spring . she's a beast .

Coal Grove’s Kasey Murphy throws 60-65 consistently. I think her team’s offensive production will be their biggest obstacle.

High 50s to 61, but 65 is a reach. Evans is able to hit high 50s as well as Adkins from Oak Hill, both Freshman. I haven’t seen Claxon from Burg throw for a while, but I imagine she is in that group as well.

She is usually throwing in the mid to high 50s.
