Because the ball doesn´t have a lot of weight, may be the difference in strength is not important? Theoretical physics of course say that force makes acceleration and acceleration makes speed. But in real life many things are different. Does anyone have figures? Of course one must compare equal levels, e.g. male senior high compared with female senior high and so on. Does skill count the most?

Pitching is all about the mechanics. Thats why a little guy like Pedro Martinez could whip the ball up the in the 90's just like 6'10" Randy Johnson. However there is strength involved too. A pitcher must have strong legs to develop power to throw the ball as hard as they do.
Theoretically a woman could be a good pitcher but more in the Jayme Moyer mold who does not throw hard put is tricky and changes speeds. To be a power pitcher who throws hard you need incredibly strong legs.

traditionally they have used radar weapons that stumble upon the optimal velocity. So the linked fee you notice is using the fact the ball is released from the hand. It slows extensively because it gets close to the plate. final postseason, Fox started a clean form in spite of the indisputable fact that. They used a series of three severe velocity cameras that stick to the ball for the duration of the pitch and are able to greater properly assume the preliminary velocity which we relate to as properly as having the flexibility to song velocity and trajectory the finished thank you to the plate.

it's mechanics...the better your mechanics and the more power you put behind the ball the faster it will go...so i guess size would matter too...skill would be for the hold and release point...but you could also cover those in mechanics so skill is just for placement of the pitch..
