Here is an article I wrote called, Why Some Pitchers Throw Harder than Other? It will talk about the mechanics and athletism that separates pitchers but when talking velocity and distance you can not forget the other main factor which is trajectory. Trajectory along with the forces of nature can make up for less velocity on a throw. The other important thing to remember is throwing extreme distances will change a pitchers mechanics from what he uses on the mound to pitch.
