Thanks for the feedback! The thing here is that the velo should be lower for the international discovery players than for other players.
They're typically signing at 16, not later like the HS guys, so their velo starts lower, in part because they tend to have less experience pitching than equivalent HS players. They also tend to flame out much sooner than drafted guys will (iirc something like 60% of all DSL players never make it out of the DSL in real life), so so even once they're a little older a lot of them will never get good enough to have higher levels of velocity.
So it seems to me this is very likely working correctly now.
