Does anyone have any idea of the corelation of how far you can long toss and how fast you can throw a baseball. Preferably put the answer in feet. EX. I throw 80 miles per hour and can long toss 260 feet.

Without rolling or wind resistance, the furthest distance a projectile can fly is when launched at a 45 degree angle. To calculate the distance a ball will go, you need to do this: Range = V * cos(angle) * t Height = V * sin(angle) * t - (1/2)g * t^2 V = 35.8 m/s angle = 45 (or different) g = -9.8m/s t = unknown We know at the peak, the velocity is 0. Final velocity = initial velocity + g*t 0 = 35.8*sin(45) - 9.8*t t = 2.58 That's to the peak. The final time, then, is twice that, or 5.17. Range = 35.8 * cos(45) * 5.17 = 130.9 m. You can plug in your own numbers for different angles. Also, this is not taking into consideration your starting height, wind, rolling, or air resistance. The general gist is that as the angle moves away from 45 degrees, it'll decrease your final distance.
