60 mph from 46 feet is incredibly fast for a softball pitcher, feeling like a baseball pitch over 100 mph due to the shorter distance, and is often used to simulate the reaction time for a batter facing much higher speeds in baseball, giving a batter roughly 1.35 seconds to react. To calculate this perceived speed, you multiply the actual speed (60 mph) by the ratio of the standard baseball distance (60.6 ft) to the shorter distance (46 ft), resulting in approximately 79 mph (60 * 60.6/46) which feels like a major league fastball.
