Is there a way to tell how fast you throw with out a radar gun or any radar or fancy equipment?

Question

just a stop watch or something cheap like that, also a way that is somewhat reasonable not overly complicated

Answer 1

Time yourself with a stop watch. Then post a question to Yahoo Answers asking "What's a decent pitching speed for ...." (put in however old you are). Decide which answer sounds reasonable and tell everybody you know that you throw that hard.

Answer 2

The cheapest way that I know of to find out how fast you throw is a glove radar, which will cost $70 at baseball warehouse. You won't find anything cheaper than that...

Answer 3

no you cant,

Radar baseballs are +/- 5 MPH- not worth it

And if your a HS sophomore pitcher (like me) just develop a good fastball/changeup combo. No need for a slider or curve. I have a fastball around 77 and a changeup around 50 that falls off the table. Also minimum age for slider is 18 (i tried it, took about a month to get the regular velocity back)
