Which college hitters OPP, MB, or OH 6' 2" and taller have the highest verticals and approach touches? Looking for actual numbers too if known.
Not concerned with their hitting %s or kps.

Stone and Butler immediately come to mind.

Plummer!!! I still think Karch needs to give her a shot to compete for a roster spot for Tokyo.

Not concerned with their hitting %s or kps. isn't "spike speed" or "heavy ball" a requirement? Clay Stanley just had a difference sound when he hit the ball...

Is any lateral movement a requirement? What do you mean? For purposes of your exercise, how important are you viewing quickness, explosiveness?

He and Plummer have the highest mass at the sacrifice of speed, of their bodies not their hits. Her vertical's commensurately lower than Stanley's but that's to be expected with a female of her mass but she should be given an opportunity with a new complement of outsides who are elite passers. Plummer could possibly make a good back up option. I remember her touch now being mentioned by one of the announcers. I browsed a bit and Hooker's was usually listed at an inch shorter than Butler's! Since she hits like men and moves a little faster than Hooker, more leg muscle, she should be our number one option to develop for USA. When Egonu started for Italy she looked like a train wreck often but she's improved a lot in a short time to be one of the best and still is a teenager. I just looked and Egonu's only about six weeks older than Butler. I'm a bit shocked to see Butler may have the potential to surpass Hooker if given an opportunity to develop. She's obviously hardcore and hasn't displayed any of the personality traits that would bother Karch either. She should be in the USA gym now.

She graduated last year, but Rhamat was reported at 11-2 although I'm guessing it's more like 11-0...is she training with team USA right now? Butler is reported at 11 feet. Sun was reported at 10-9 I believe. RJP is only 6-0 but she absolutely skies, has to be at least around 10-6 or 10-7.
That said, jump touch is a different animal from contact point when attacking. You watch someone like Sun and she can absolutely sky but it's rare that you see her hitting right over the block like you do with RJP even though Sun likely touches higher than RJP. Same with Butler who is consistently set too low. If Shook can set Brionne high enough she should be able to hit over the opposing block most of the time.
Height and length also goes a long way too. It takes a lot more energy for a 6-2 player to consistently jump and contact the ball above 10 feet vs. someone like Rettke who barely has to get off the ground to contact the ball at 10+ feet. As a match wears on, legs get tired and the taller girls have an advantage over the high fliers.
For Team USA prospects, I hope that Plummer gets a solid look. She just has a cannon of an arm and is a smart hitter. Butler has immense upside and could be spectacular with time. Hord is another one who intrigues me...great athlete and has good upside still.
