Yes, depending on the pitch is crucial. Speed is normally registered the fastest with a "fast ball " pitch.
In MLB, a 90 MPH fastball is considered good although there are several pitchers that can reach the high 90s with their fastball. Curveballs are generally in the low 80s MPH.
It all depends on what pitch the pitcher is throwing, fastball are faster than curve balls, changeups. The average speed of a fastball in the MLB is 93 MPH.
The speed varies from pitcher to pitcher but the average is about 85-100 depending on the type of pitch thrown.

What is the most dangereuse sport in the world?
The most dangerous sport to me is baseball because the pitchers throw the balls really fast and if you are not paying attention you might get hit in some places you do not want to get hit in. I've played softball for four years and I have had fun playing it but, one time i got hit in the thigh and had to sit out until my thigh felt better. Next, year I am going to play in February and I am going to try not to get hit in my thigh again. This is why I think baseball is a dangerous sport.

Why do baseball players need permission to blow on their hands or lick their fingers during a game?
There is a rule for pitchers that they may not lick their fingers or blow on their hands while they are standing on the pitcher's mound unless both managers have agreed to allow this before the game. The thought there is to keep the pitcher from transferring a foreign substance, usually saliva, from his mouth to his hand which he will then transfer to the ball. Pitched balls that have a foreign substance on them have more movement than balls that don't. This gives the pitcher an unfair advantage over the batter. Baseball history is ripe with pitchers that used to throw the 'spitball', as in the early days (until 1920) of the game the spitball was legal. Some of these pitchers are in the Hall of Fame. Generally, in games played in cold weather pitchers will be allowed to blow into their hand while on the mound in an attempt to keep them warm. But never in a warm weather game.
