Most non-gimmick major league pitchers have a fastball that can hit at least 88-90 MPH. An average fastball is probably around 92-93 mph, an good power pitcher can throw in the high 90s, and an elite few can break 100 mph, such as Bobby Jenks, Bartolo Colon and Joel Zumaya.
A good changeup is between 10-15 MPH slower than your fastball; while knuckleballers such as Tim Wakefield tend to throw in the 55-65 range.

Can terminal velocity be changed?
Yes, if the falling object changes its aerodynamic profile, it can reduce or increase drag. Drag causes the terminal velocity to decrease.
Why can a batter hit a pitched baseball further than a ball tossed in the air by the batter?
A ball that is pitched has a greater velocity and a greater momentum so when the bat hits the ball and transfers energy to the ball, the greater the original momentum the more force that the ball will travel with causing it to go farther.
How can you change the velocity of a falling object?
This is a question that is highly relevant to the sport of baseball. Generations of baseball players have found that the best way to change the velocity of a falling baseball is to catch it.
What is the velocity for a baseball ball rolling on grass?
It depends on the initial velocity, and it also depends on time, because the friction of the grass will slow the baseball down.
Who pitched the second most years in baseball?
Tommy John pitched 26 seasons.
Why did the camper make a lousy baseball player?
Because he pitched a tent.
How does a gravitational field work?
A gravitational field works by creating a velocity profile that masses in the field follow. For example the Earth has a velocity of 29814m/s at the radius of 150Gigameters from the Sun. This This velocity V= Squareroot[GM/r] this velocity is independent of the Earth and just depends on the Gravitational field of the Sun. The Direction of the Velocity is angled to maintain the conservation of energy and balance the centripetal and centrifugal forces.
Is it free to have an Major League Baseball profile?
Yeah Cobber!
What should you do to increase the velocity of a baseball pitch?

What is a baseball thrown with little velocity when the batter is expecting a fastball?
A baseball thrown with little velocity to fool a hitter is called a changeup. Also known as a change, changay or change-piece.
What are the difference between distance and velocity?
Velocity is how high something goes like if you throw a baseball up. Distance is how far you throw thatbaseball
The speed of a baseball crossing home plate after being pitched depends on its initial velocity. If thrown at 74 mph the speed over home plate will be 72.2 mph. If thrown at 50 mph the speed over home?
Speed(74) = 72.2Speed(50) = 44.7
