I guess you are comparing 'A' to Major. I supose that my classification was misleading. I was talking about 'Major' fastpitch. Most 'A' level pitchers throw about 65-75MPH. I played 9 years Canadian Men's National Team, 20 years at MAjor 'A' level and you can not tell me that there is no difference between hitting a 95MPH pitch and hitting a 109 MPH pitch. If that is the case then you should have been a major league star. I am sure that any coach in the majors would welcome a pitcher who could throw 100+ MPH or why do you think they work so hard to find that extra 1-2mph in a fastball.
