📖 Understanding Pitch Speed

Pitch speed is measured as the velocity of the ball as it leaves the pitcher's hand. The 60 feet 6 inches (18.44 meters) distance to home plate means hitters have very little time to react.

MLB Reference Speeds:

• Fastball: 90-100+ MPH
• Curveball: 75-85 MPH
• Changeup: 80-90 MPH
• Slider: 80-90 MPH
