This is correct


The ESPN guns are all set higher for some reason. Not sure if it’s for dramatic effect or what. They also sometimes have them on home scoreboards. When we played Liberty it showed their pitcher in the mid 70’s. She was throwing mid to high 60’s. The pocket radars are pretty good though. There’s actually a very well-known pitching coach in VA who touts her pitchers’ speed on social media and that person’s gun is set at least 3-5 mph higher. I know because my kid had a few lessons them and the speeds she was hitting there were inflated but it sure made you feel good!

  So how accurate are the guns themselves -- VTChip 04/26/2022 12:10AM
