Why this conversion matters
US sports broadcasts (baseball pitch speed, NFL player tracking, athletics) typically report speed in mph for a general audience, while the underlying tracking technology (Statcast, GPS vests, lab equipment) usually measures and stores the raw data in m/s.
FAQ
Why does Statcast show pitch speed in mph but store data in m/s?
mph is the familiar unit for US sports audiences, but most tracking and biomechanics systems internally use m/s because it's the SI standard, so broadcast graphics convert on the fly.
What's a 95 mph fastball in m/s?
A 95 mph fastball is approximately 42.5 m/s.
Is player sprint speed in the NFL measured in mph or m/s?
The NFL's Next Gen Stats reports top speed in mph for fans, but the raw GPS tracking data is captured in m/s before conversion.
