I cannot name exact people, but as far as general knowledge, I've seen hard breaking curve-balls in the mid eighties. Pitchers don't try to overthrow a curve because the chance of it going wild or injuring their arm goes way up.

Most pither's Curveball's are thrown slower then there fastballs. Usually about 10 mph slower. so if a major league pitcher throws a 95 mph fastball the curveball would be about 85. However there are some pitchers whose curveball's go the same speed as their fastball.

What is the difference between a pitcher's command and a pitcher's control?

Great question. The pitchers command means that his pitches are doing what he wants them to do. If his intent is to throw a curve ball, then the ball will curve. The pitcher has control when the pitches he throws are staying in the strike zone like he wants. If he wants to throw a ball, then he is throwing balls. your curveball can curve, your breaking ball can break, your slider will slide, and your fastball is fast.... however if you can't get it over the plate ( or reasonably within range), you have no control.

How do you pitch fast i am a 14 year old pitcher who throws mid 40s but am very accurate i pitched really well and have a very good curve ball i just really need to work on speed?

im 12 and i throw 60 i throw fast because i use my leg strength and whip my arm as fast as i can but the most important factor is your hips and how you turn them. but really throwing strikes is more important then speed. speed is just a thing everyone talks about. it also helps if you throw a good changeup to back up your fastball
