How fast is a slow pitch batting cage?
Softball in this cage is slow pitch, 25mph.
How fast is 70 mph from 46 feet?
To compare the “ball travel time” of any two distances, divide the longer distance by the shorter distance and multiply the result by the mph. For example, 60′ divided by 46′ equals 1.30. Multiply 1.30 times 70 mph, and you have 91. That’s why we say that 70 mph from 46 feet equals 91 mph from 60 feet.
Can you pitch in a batting cage?
