While pitching your stride doesn't actually make the ball faster. What makes the ball look faster to a batter is how close you are. If you throw an 85mph fastball from 60 feet a batter will know but if you throw the same speed from 50 feet away the batter might think its coming 90-93 mph.
RADAR was first used to clock pitching speed in 1972. Earl Weaver was the first person to use the RADAR gun to determine speed in baseball.
around 92
I would say between 50 and 65 mph
it is different depending on where you live. southern states such as Florida have a higher average pitching speed than northern states such as vermont. however, the average pitching speed for most 12 yr olds tends to be from the mid-40s to the low-to-mid-50s. average is early 30's to late 40's for a girl who practices daily, but ive seen 10 yr olds throw up to 65 mph
If you can throw a baseball 95 mph consistently and move it around the strike zone with control, and can throw a lot of them without losing speed over a given period, say 20 minutes to a half an hour, then yes you can have a pitching career in baseball.
A higher leg lift and the twist off the rubber by the hips will generate more power.

Who is Mr Collins? Tiger Woods' ball speed is 170 mph, the average pitching speed in MLB is around 92 mph.
worp speed
Speed is based on distance traveled in a given amount of time. Baseball uses a distance of 60 feet 6 inches from the pitching rubber to home where as softball is 43 feet. A ball that would cover 43 feet in 1/2 a second is traveling just over 58 mph while a ball covering 60 feet 6 inches in the same time is traveling 82.5 mph. You need to know 2 of the following 3 ; distance, speed, or time. If you know distance and time then the formula is speed=distance/time. If you know the speed and distance then use time=distance/speed, get that number then use previous formula and change distance to get comparison.
The price is higher if the speed is slower The price is higher if the speed is slower
