College Baseball's Hardest Throwers
March 12, 2020
After three weeks we saw a total of 36 power arms throwing 96+, then Week Four turned a little cool with just three more, bringing the season total to 39. The top bolt was a 98 mph lightning strike by highly regarded 2021 right-hander Ryan Cusick and was measured at a spin rate of 2454 rpm. He jumps up one octane from 97 to 98 on the leader board.
All velocities were seen first-hand by D1Baseball or Prep Baseball Report staff.
