If it throw a raquetball 80mph how fast do you throw a baseball?
I rehabed my arm years back and had a jugs gun. I could throw a tennis ball 7 mph faster than a baseball. My guess your 80mph r-ball throw is in the low 60mph range with a baseball. Also years back there were 2 radar guns, the JUGS and the RA-gun by decatur. 90ph was a avg MLB fastball and 85mph for the RA-gun. The avg. fastball slows up 4-7 mph, it's fastest out of the hand and slows up usualy 5-6 by the time the catcher gets it. If you were a young kid in the 80's and didnt know the scout was using the slow gun you may have given up thinking low 80's wasnt good enough, but that low 80's was really high 80's. I remember watching steve avery pitch against the dodgers, he was 83mph all night long on that old black decatur slow radar gun behind the plate in Atlanta. If that was todays stalker radar it would have been around 89mph. There was also another radar gun the st louis cardinals used and it was slower than the jugs but faster than the RA gun.

If you are on second base and there are 2 outs and the ball is hit to the short stop should you run?
the easiest out possible most likely 2nd
Lead runner has the right to the bag as long as they are not being forced ahead by occupants of other bases. If the runner on 3rd was not being forced they can return to the bag and the runner from 2nd must return to 2nd. The runner returning to second if tagged is out and unless the runner returning to 3rd is tagged while off the base then they are safe. If both runner attempt to occupy the base at the same time and fielder tags both runners while they occupy the base the runner from 2nd is out unless they are being forced ahead then the runner from 3rd is out.
