Calculator: How To Calculate Pitching Velocity vs. Long Toss Distance

When long tossing, have you ever wondered what a 90 mph fastball translated to in terms of long toss throwing distance? Does a 90 mph fastball equate to a 300-foot throw ... or a 350-foot throw? Perhaps it's less? How does arm angle and the ball's arc through the air effect how far you can long toss when training?

Here is a throwing distance to pitching velocity calculator from Florida State University that solves the differential equations governing the flight of a baseball based on the model developed by Robert Adair in his book The Physics of Baseball.
