The distance being the SAME, I am writing an article and cannot find the information any where on the Internet - Thanks for your wonderful insight.
Who ever knew that this math degree would come in handy?

Take the softball speed, multiply by the baseball pitching distance (60.5 ft for MLB), divide by the softball pitching distance (let's say 43 ft), and you've got your baseball speed.
