Now for some corrections..

Last season the average fast ball was 92mph
In 2013, just eight pitchers hit triple digits.
Aroldis Chapman holds the record for the fastest recorded pitch speed in MLB history, after throwing a 105.1mph fastball against the San Diego Padres in 2010.

The distance from a pitchers mound to home plate is 60'6" but the rear foot of the pitcher is on the mound so he is closer

Cricket
The distance between stumps is 66 feet
The front foot crease for the bowler is 62 feet.
The batter normally stands 4 feet in front of the stumps so 58 feet.
A typical fast delivery has a speed in the range of 137–153 km/h (85–95 mph) - the fastest on record is 100.2mph

A cricket ball, with one circumfrencial stitched seam travels through the air with swing and then normally bounces 2-4 feet in front of the batsmans stance.

I am not saying its a harder game - but its no mean feat to put a cricket ball between fieldsmen, let alone out of the park.




I love winding up fanatics - especially sports fanatics LOL (and paleos)

I actually played three seasons of baseball in my early teens in Sydney. I was shortstop and had the best ERA (see I can even speak the jargon) in the league.

Then I moved to a sheep farm....

Love the winding up, though I'm not a fanatic, just a fan.
Bless you young man.
I'm also a paleo fan, just not a fanatic.

Good stats.
Aroldis Chapman always scared me when he came in to close a game. I figured it was game over.
Some of those 100 mph pitchers were Cardinals. Joe Kelly (avg. FB 94.8), Trevor Rosenthal (avg. FB 96.5), Kevin Siegrist (avg. FB 94.5)
Carlos Martinez hit it in 2014 and averages a team high 97.1
Michael Wacha only reaches 97

I think pitching velocity is at an all time high, along with a dismal MLB run scoring.
The top 10 hardest throwing teams from 09-13 accounted for half of the playoff teams.
Here's an interesting article on pitching velocity
