How hard can the average person pitch?

Without significant practice, your average person would be lucky to throw a baseball over 50 mph. For trained players, the average pitching velocity ranges between 40-50 mph among young players around 9 or 10, between 55-75 mph between 10 and 17, to an average of 80 mph for 18-year-olds and above.

How hard do Division 3 pitchers throw?

Can anyone throw a 90 mph fastball?

If you are going to have the ability to throw a 90 mph fastball which is 60\% of the fastballs thrown in Major League Baseball then you must have the ability to at least move more weight than you weigh. This means the athlete can produce power that can push about 150\% of his own body weight or more.

How long does a hitter have to react to a 95 mph pitch?

about 0.425 seconds
The mound is 60 feet, 6 inches from the plate. A 95-mph fastball is traveling about 139 feet-per-second. That means it takes about 0.425 seconds to reach the plate. That’s less than half a second for hand-eye coordination to do its thing and make a connection.

How fast does a 100-mph fastball get to home plate?

400 milliseconds
A 100-mph fastball reaches home plate in under 400 milliseconds. The swing itself takes about 150 milliseconds. That leaves less than a quarter of a second for a batter to spot the pitch and decide whether and where to swing.

What is the 99th percentile?

In contrast, the 99th percentile says “99\% of your values are less than 850ms”, which is a very different picture. One percent of all your customers are experiencing 800+ ms latencies, which could be very bad for business. The new percentile metric works just like the simpler stats metrics like min and avg.

What is an above average percentile rank score?

A percentile rank score of 60 or above is considered above average. The National Percentile Rank score (NP) typically follows the Raw Score (RS) as you look across the page of an achievement test report from left to right. Once again it will be helpful for you to reference our sample report (click to view) as I explain this score.

Where should the percentile rank of an under achiever be?

Near or at the bottom. Likewise, compare him or her to a group of students for whom education is unimportant and who could care less about learning, and the percentile rank will likely be near the top. I say likely because some “under achievers” are really smart but are bored by the instructional setting in which they find themselves.

What is the average response time for a percentile?

The average in this case could either be lower than 500ms (on a heavy front curve), a lot higher (long tail) or somewhere in between. A percentile gives me a much better sense of my real world performance, because it shows me a slice of my response time curve. For exactly that reason percentiles are perfect for automatic baselining.
