Long Toss Distance

Tallman07100+ posts

I just got home from throwing long toss. I threw it from home plate to right field just to see how far I was throwing it. I hit the top of the fence on the fly and the fence was 320 feet. Is there a way to extrapolate long toss distances verses actually MPH on the mound? Is there a rule of thumb?

If I recall correctly, 320 ft equates to about 90 mph.

Well, I'm in the upper 70's, and I throw around 240ft. So I'd say that 90 is probably right on.
