best pitcher i've seen? No doubt Jill Seltzer of Red Bank Hi In the mid 80's. she could really burn it!

[std]

Was that the air temperature of the game she was pitching in?

I think the person meant 1980s.

Over a period of time the fish somebody caught get's bigger and bigger. In a couple of years Selzer will be pitching in the 90's.

She played in the 1980's and was a very good pitcher. she was probably able to bring it in the 60's velocity wise not to be confused with woodstock or the chicago democratic convention

Danielle Catalano is the best high school pitcher I have ever seen. Her junior year she pitched two of the most memorable games in state tournament history against two other great high school pitchers, Karissa Lowery and Mandy Miles. She owns just about every record for pitching at Coffee County and is having a very good season this year at Lipscomb. Oh, and she's pretty hot too.

Hey cornpup. No disrespect, but this BS as you call it, about a 100 MPH fastball is probably correct. If I'm not mistaken the fastest thrown ball in either baseball or softball ever was recorded by a fastpitch pitcher. I was lucky enough to play ASA Men's Class A ball all around this country and faced many pitchers that threw in the 80 to 90 MPH range, and like I said that was just Class A ball not Major A. I am too young to have faced Jarfly (thank goodness) but what these people are saying just might be true.

I remember reading about a fastpitch pitcher in Sports Illustrated several years ago. He threw 111 mph. It is not uncommon for men to throw over 100. Men's fastpitch is not played like it used to be.

seltzer (SP?) did use to throw in at least the lower to mid 70's.. i've seen it clocked before..

When men are pitching at or near the mentioned speeds, from what distance are they pitching? 40 feet? 43 feet? 46 feet?

Do men's fastpitch teams play on 300' rec ball fields with longer base paths? Who knows how fast the King and His Court (can't think of his name??) was able to throw? The only man I have ever witnessed throw fastpitch was "the KING" and also Marvin Burke of Chattanooga. Does anyone know how fast Marvin can throw?

Eddie Feigner is "The King". The following is an excerpt from an article written last May by David Schoenfield of ESPN about the greatest pitches of all time.

 

Eddie Feigner's fastball

Eddie who? OK, we're cheating. Feigner was a fastpitch softball pitcher -- but, hey, we never said we were sticking to baseball. Feigner was once timed at 104 mph ... and remember, he's pitching closer to home plate. In a two-inning exhibition in 1967, he fanned Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Maury Wills, Harmon Killebrew and Roberto Clemente. He's nearing 80, but "The King" still tours with his "Court."
