Message: [QUOTE="rvwsleep, post: 3249233, member: 3775"] The speed of the pitch helps a batted ball go farther, but not that much of a difference. According to "The Physics of Baseball" the difference in distance of a battered ball of a pitch thrown 90mph and one thrown 95mph is less than 10 ft. I believe the example given was if a home run went 400ft off a 90mph pitch, then it would have traveled 408ft if the pitch was 95mph. (I read this book years ago and this is to the best of my memory. I'll try to find it and confirm) . [/QUOTE]
