Baseball long toss
Question
I have been searching for months for the answer to this. I heard that if you can long toss 260 feet you can throw 80mph and if you can long toss 305 feet you should be able to throw 90. I was wondering if anyone knew the distances of the speeds in between. I know you will say it does not correlate but i really am just looking for a chart to go by to see how i am progressing with my long toss
Answer
Harry,
I'd love to be able to tell you that there was some sort of formula or chart for arm strength/velocity, but there isn't. Everybody is different and will improve at a different pace. Keep playing long toss and strengthen your lower body and you should see an improvement in velocity. Sorry I can't do better than that, but let me know if you have any other questions.
