Question
What is the average speed of a Major League Baseball shortstop across the diamond.

Answer
This is an interesting question. I don't know if this has ever been documented. I am sure they are all different depending on the guy playing at shortstop. I can't give you an accurate number but if i had to guess, I would guess they throw about 75-85 mph.
