Is this for real? I must be missing something. I see several articles stating she threw 90 mph and it never mentions being compared to a baseball pitch or being adjusted for distance. Not a pitching guy so please excuse my ignorance on this.
Kathy Arendsen "At 6-foot-2, she presents an imposing figure on the mound, especially when she unleashes her riseball at more than 90 mph. In her rookie year (1978) she had a 23-1 record. This year she was 34-3 and averaged more than two strikeouts an inning as she posted an earned run average of 0.07, including five consecutive no-hitters and 11 perfect games."
