Baseball Pitchers Hit the Speed Limit


These days it’s not all that uncommon to see a major league pitcher throw 100 miles per hour. But will someone come along who can throw 110? The New York Times says biomedical engineers have determined that pitch speeds have topped out. With better conditioning, more pitchers will be able to throw in the high 90s, but the frailty of ligaments and tendons makes it unlikely pitchers will be able to throw any harder.
