From the article...
The balls came whipping in at a speed Williams wasn't prepared for. Joyce says her pitches, from some 40 feet away, were in the 70-mph range -- and a test later conducted at the University of Southern California calculated her pitch speed at the baseball equivalent of 119 mph. Essentially, Williams would have to start his swing at the moment she released the ball to have a prayer of hitting it.
I'm pretty sure the myth of the 100++ mph equivalent has been debunked?
With her athleticism across so many sports, she should have hooked up with Jim Thorpe, or maybe Rafer Johnson.
