Equivalent Pitch Speeds Conversion Chart
Related
Ever wondered how a pitch speed in one age group compares to another? How fastpitch compares to Major League Baseball pitch speeds?
Our handy charts below compare a given pitch speed and distance to a new distance.
So enjoy. Impress your friends.
Notes
- The new "speed", of course, is not the actual speed of the given pitch, but is the equivalent speed based on the same reaction time.
- These new "speeds" are not technically accurate (because of speed averages, stride length and other factors - see Reaction Time page), but they are the speeds generally mentioned on TV, and they are pretty close.
- To print just one chart, highlight the chart, then click File, Print, Selection.
