Which is faster cricket bowling or baseball pitching?

Answer 1

Generally, Baseball has faster pitches. Even though cricket gets a run up, the ball is generally bounced on the ground before it reaches the batsman thereby losing speed. It is not necessary to bounce the ball but it generally is not done because the surface area of cricket bat is larger than that of baseball there by helping the batter in cricket.( The game of cricket favours batsman more then their counterparts in baseball because of the rules).The topmost speed recorded in cricket is a little over100mph. It is also not clear as to how much is the ball speed when it reaches the batsman in both games for any sensible comparison.Hence one can say that the reaction time could be comparable.

Answer 2

Reputedly, one form of pelota has the highest ball speed. Specifically, the game is the version of Basque pelota played with a small hand-held basket to catch and return the ball.

The top speed recorded is 302 km per hour (188 mph).

No actually it is the Golf BALL long drivers have ball speeds exceding 216mph

Completely wrong. Lee Chong Wei smash a Badminton shot at a speed of 495 Km/h. Thats about 306mph.
