slow pitch pitching speed ?

[B-REAL09]

Looking into buying me a pitching machine and there is on on CL but its saying the slowest speed is 30 mph, is this too fast ? So if anyone knows about how fast a slow pitch pitching speed please lmk.

thanks

Curious to know start the actual speed of a pitch is, always assumed it's around 20.

I don't know B, that's a guess out of my butt, not in any way a reference point. I'm just hoping somebody's bothered to clock a pitch so we know what it actually is.

My Heater machine has 10 settings. The lowest setting (2)=18 mph and (10)=50mph. I typically set it at (4) 26mph, 3=22mph and 5=30mph

The thing to consider is the distance and arc. Setting 5 throws too deep and high from the usual distance. If I set it further back it would work at that speed.

20-25 is a normal bp pitch, some flat usssa come in a 30-40

I have checked with a pocket coach radar while trying to get a bbs.

Typically in NJ Utrip is about 40 and strikes are above the ankle to below the knee:wtf2:

25 is what the associations have used for testing in the past.

Thanks jbo I was thinking 30 might be a little to fast or the machine will be pitching deep all the time.

I'd think it'd work fine. It just might come in a little flatter, or you could always put it a few feet behind the rubber. A ball with a 6' arc for a strike and one with a 10' arc are going to travel at two very different speeds. Add in a UTrip 3' from release and I'd say 30 mph is very reasonable.

Good input thanks, let me see if this guy still has it up for sale on CL.

I've heard more than a few times that it's somewhere between 3 and 8 mph, depending on the point the person is trying to make.
