I read where Jarred Cosart (Clear Creek HS 2008 grad and Mizzou signee) set a new PG record by throwing 101 mph from the outfield at the PG World Showcase in Ft Myers earlier this month.

And, while I don't know if MLB outfielders get velos measured very often, would you say that Jarred might be the best outfield arm in the country at any level?

I read where he was 93 mph as a sophomore... electric arm strength!! I'd be jealous (for my son) if I wasn't so darned impressed.

Thanks.

I'm guessing there is someone who has thrown even better.

First we have to designate whether Jarred is a true outfielder. At this time he is a pitching prospect in the eyes of pro scouts.

That being the case, we know there are pitchers who have thrown over 100 mph. I suppose if one of them went out in the outfield and threw to a radar gun they might top Jarred's 101 reading.

However, I'm not expecting Jarred's PG record to be broken anytime soon. It was amazing!

My son saw Jarred throw (as a pitcher) in an invitation-only workout for a MLB club last month. So, I'm sure you're right on that most everyone considers his future workplace to be in the center of the infield.

While the PG write-up may not be complete yet, it only lists his OF velocity. Did he pitch also at the PG World? If so, I'm guessing he lit it up there too?

Thanks!

He was 93 on our guns, some others had him at 94.
