Kelsi Dunn only at 58. That would suprise me. But Van wouldn't make that up I guess.
As most folks know, pitch speeds as displayed on ESPN games are inflated by 3-5 mph. Van Studemann was down in our neck of the woods last month. Talking to a small group of coaches, she wanted to illustrate how overrated speed gun measurements can be. She said that when Kelsi Dunne got to Alabama, she threw 58 (Stalker gun). What she did have was control and spin. It surprised a lot of the coaches that a top ten DI school would bring in someone with speed below 60, but when she described how pinpoint her control was and her spin, it made sense. While her speed increased during her time there, it was not at the expense of control and movement.
