Don't bother using a stopwatch to time pitch speed. It is incredibly inaccurate. First, exactly where did the pitcher release the ball? Not at 60'6", that is for sure. Was his hand 55' from the plate? 54'? Exactly when did he release? And how far from the pitcher's release point was the catcher's mitt? Were you off a little in when it hit the mitt?

Off by just .05 seconds? Then you could be off by 8-9 mph.
