How fast can the average person throw a baseball?
Professional baseball pitchers can throw 90-95 mph, and — argueably — the fastest pitches ever thrown were in the 101-103 mph range.
But how fast can the average joe (like me) throw a baseball? Someone who's never played baseball at any level, but is reasonably athletic and coordinated. I figure I can hurl a baseball close to 60 mph on a good day. Sound reasonable?
Has anybody here who doesn't play organized baseball ever been clocked with a radar gun? How'd you do? Anybody have any guesses for ball speed by an average joe? Other than wild guesses, I mean.

I would say that 60 is a reasonable guess, but it might be a little lower than that. I used to play as a kid but i don't play much anymore and I was clocked in the low 60's last summer at a fan day thing. Of the 4 people I knew that were clocked i think the highest ws 67 with average being a little under 60.
