If you can throw 55 mph how many feet could you throw?
225 feet
----------
225 feet is a very vague and most importantly, incorrect answer.
If you know for sure you are throwing 55mph off of a mound, then during a long toss session if you throw a baseball around a 45-50 degree angle you should be able to reach around 150 feet. 225 feet translates into about 73mph thrown at a 45 degree angle. This is also for the fact that the elevation at which you are is close to sea level and if there is little to no wind.
