Throw hard but not far?

Might not be driving from backside like you would on the mound. Could be changing relase angles as well.

The real question is have you been clocked throwing in those locations?  Who says you aren't throwing 75?  You can't expect a pitch from 60 feet to look like a throw across the diamond, or from the OF.

Two easy guesses without seeing you.  Poor footwork or bad release point.  Would pretty much say it has to be one of the two - assuming the arm strength to throw 75 off the mound a throw across the diamond may not light up the radar gun but should be more than sufficient to get I t across the diamond.

I don't think 75mph can get a ball from deep outfield to home plate. I recently went to watch a showcase, and most outfields who through mid-70s bounce it to home. Quite a few guys can reach home in the air, but they threw 85+mph.

Bounced like this?

Just to clarify. In terms of outfield, I have trouble just hitting cutoff men because my throw have very little carry and die pretty quickly. Across the infield, same thing except bouncing to 1B

Question NYCT - can you make the throw to first without bouncing assuming you add some arc to your throw?  If you actually can throw 75 off the mound, lets assume you can reach 70 on the infield throw.  While that may not be a rope throw from the left side, you should be able to have it get to 1B without a hop - unless you are simply releasing the ball too late.  

       
       
Sorry I missed the OF part, just saw infield.  Correct if you have a ball hit beyond 225ft or so it is not getting to the plate on a fly at 75mph.  Especially since trajectory is now a concern.  Can't throw it 30 degrees up like a home run to add.more distance.

I suspect you are not using your bottom half very efficiently.  Make a tape, then the wise heads here can dissect your throwing mechanics.  

Something in the 60s ought to get it comfortably across the infield without substantial arc, 70 is more than enough assuming a reasonable release point.

 

70-75 should be good for a couple hundred feet, depending on how much arc is acceptable. 80+ is probably good enough for anything reasonably deep on a HS OF.
