Batting Practice Assistant
Pitch Speed Conversions
Quickly find the simulated pitch speed of your batting practice session.
The three variables…
- Actual Pitch Speed
- Distance from Pitcher to Batter (measure from pitcher’s back foot to home plate)
- Simulated Pitch Speed (based on batter’s equivalent reaction time)
BPA allows input of any two of the three variables to calculate the other. Calculations are based on 60 feet, 6 inches. Calculations do not take into account pitcher’s stride lengths, release point of ball, etc.
NOTE… some conversion charts are based on ball travel distance rather than 60 feet, 6 inches.
