How fast was the fastest MLB ever pitched?
459167
Matt Anderson, has thrown the fastest pitched baseball which measured 103 miles per hour (166 km/h or 46.0 m/s). This time was measured in the past 1999 baseball season.

The record for most consecutive at-bats with a home run is held by numerous players, among them Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx, Hank Greenberg, Stan Musial, and Ted Williams, who have all hit homers in four consecutive at-bats. Most recently, the feat was accomplished by Manny Ramirez, who homered in four at-bats over the span of two games in 1998. \nIn the National League, Dale Long of the Pittsburgh Pirates homered in eight consecutive games, from May 19 to May 28, 1956.\n\n\nIn the American League, the New York Yankees' Don Mattingly and the Seattle Mariners' Ken Griffey Jr. have both hit homers in eight consecutive games. Mattingly did it in July 1987, and Griffey did it in July 1993.

i assume you're talking about baseball; but all it is is that there is a spinning wheel incased in a large metal structure. there is a whole where a baseball is placed. depending on how fast you want the pitch to go you can adjust the speed the wheel turns. once the ball goes down the chute and lands on the wheel, the wheel accelerates the ball forward, simulating a pitch

Man, you answered your own question, by saying: "... How many guys actually shoot for this record? Most don't care."\n\nBy that yardstick alone, Cal's record of 3,198+ consecutive games played is EXTRAORDINARY!  If no one else cares, and this outstanding player, who did it everyday in the same Oriole uniform, at that--did do it, then isn't that one he11 of an acomplishment?  \n\nOf the three former players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame this next year, i.e., Ripken, Mark McGwire, and lovable Mr. Tony Gwinn, Cal is the most dominant, the most durable, and yes, the most reliable of the three, and dang well better be inducted on the first ballot, or there is something wrong 'round here.

Their really isn't one correct answer to this question, I'll try to explain. I’ll start with the home run that Mickey Mantle hit at Griffith Stadium in Washington on April 17, 1953. The entire baseball world was led to believe the ball had traveled 565 feet from home plate to the point where it landed.\nIn truth, that figure derived from the distance from home plate to the place where a neighborhood child retrieved the ball. However, the actual distance in the air was probably about 510 feet (most sources still have this as #1). The same process happened again with Mantle on September 10, 1960 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit when a ball he hit was reported to have traveled 643 feet but it is readily apparent once again that the ball had bounced several times before it reached the estimated distance (this is the home run that the "Guinness Book of Records" has as #1). When your talking about tape measure home runs you can’t leave out Babe Ruth. It was said that Ruth once hit one 587 feet in an exhibition game against the Giants back in 1919. Also his tremendous blow to right-center field in Detroit on June 8, 1926, has often been reported as traveling 628 feet, but again was it measured where it first landed or where it came to a rest. Included among the other great exaggerations in the history of tape measure home runs are Dave Nicholson’s Comiskey Park rooftopper on May 6, 1964 who’s shot was calculated at 573 feet. The calculations were on the assumption that the ball traveled completely over the left-center-field roof. However, subsequent\ninvestigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing out into the night. Also, when Dave Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago’s Wrigley Field on April 14, 1976, "The New York Times" somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet another claim (by the "Guinness Book of Records"), has a minor league player by the name of Roy Edward "Dizzy" Carlyle having hit one 618 feet at Emeryville Ball Park, CA on July 4, 1929. Mark McGwire hit several home runs over 500 feet and one over 540 and his is measured accurately every time he hits one. I know I didn’t cover everything but I hope I covered enough to satisfy you.\n\nAlso, Mantle's home run off the facade at Yankee Stadium on May 22, 1963 traveled between 370 to 374 feet and was between 115 to 117 feet high. If it was still going up like some people claim it would have traveled an estimated distance of 620 feet if left unimpeded. However, the reality is that the ball was already on its way down, and those reporting the trajectory were victimized by a common optical illusion. It is a scientific fact that if Mantle, or anyone else, had sufficient strength to hit a ball that was still traveling upward when it met the towering facade, he would also have enough strength to clear that same facade by a distance of at least 100 feet. In order for the ball to be rising at roof level, it would have to have been traveling at a lower angle than that which produces maximum distance. If Mantle had provided the same power or velocity, but had launched the ball at a higher and more efficient angle, it would have passed out of Yankee Stadium at a height of over 200 feet! Mantle hit the facade on two or perhaps three occasions, but never cleared it.\nSource(s):\nYou can also go to:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/ar...

What an array of answers! Fast Pitch softball pitching distance is 40' in High School and 43' in college and womens. Younger ages vary from 30' to 40'. Men is 46'. Slow pitch is up to 50'. High ark is around 46' but I'm not sure.

No, he didn't break any record.  But he did hit two HRs, that makes the total of 538, pass Mickey Mantle (536) to be the 12th of all time.  He needs another 10 to move to the 11th.

it takes anywhere from 1 1/2 to 5 hours. it depends on the speed of the game, and also the pitcher. mark buhrle finished a game in 1 1/2 hours once, and that is extremely fast. there is no time limit.

I think he is capable of breaking the record but I don't think MLB pitchers will allow him to do it.  I do not think they will pitch to him enough times to allow him to break the record.

In 1980 Mike Schmidt had 48 HR's. It was the most in his career. He led the Majors that year.

Anywhere between 2:50 and 3:40\nThe longest game ever was between the Brewers and Cubs: 8 hours and 6 minutes it went into the 25 inning\nThe shortest games is 51 minutes (9 innings)

about 138-172 MPH\n\nYou can determine this when you take the reasding of the baseball bat being swung rather than the ball speed. It usually falls in between 138-172MPH
