That's something I have very little experience with - men's fastpitch. You just don't see too many leagues like that. I know they exist - just none around here.
What distance are they pitching from?

Better look quick, David.
Men pitch from 46 feet. Women pitch from 43 feet, and girls from 40 feet.
I've had one throwing 102 and his counterpart in the low-mid 90's. But I've never had two who were both that fast - and thankfully, at thoat level, they have outstanding control.
Let's see - Memphis. How close is that to St Louis? There's some pretty good ball there, or at least a couple of really solid teams. Men's fast pitch in general is dying - if not dead in most areas. And good men's fast pitch is even tougher to find.
As a late addition - these guys can hurt somebody when they throw change-ups.
