No offense but it would help out more if there was a town or school or something.

I just want to make it clear;
For lefties, it's about the stuff you throw. If you can throw mid 80s, but have some good stuff, big moving splitter, power curve, you've definitely got a better chance that a LHP that hits 90 with bad control on his change and curve.
Righties mainly differ. If you're gonna have speed, you're at least gonna want to have some kind of moving change, or a big loopy curve that you can control.

I've heard for rightys we need a 90+ fastball, but I've also heard that these rightys are 6"2 and taller, what about a righty who is about 5"10? I know its not impossible to throw 90s at that height (Billy Wagner) but would that pitcher be at a disadvantage or would scouts maybe take a chance on him with an 80's FB?
