oh that explains when i was watching Major League when Charlie Sheen's character's pitch was over 90 mph. I laughed at him and said a high schooler named Kou can do better.

You're probably thinking of kph. 170kph = about 110mph.

160 km/h = ~100mph
You kinda have to remember that a 150 km/h throw is pretty fast for someone of Koh's age

This is one series I haven't touched yet. I did read H2, and thought it was mediocre. Major has always been my go-to baseball anime/manga. I wish more of the early manga was translated, but from what I've heard the anime does a good job following it so I wont complain. The story and characters are top-notch.

You can't really compare Major to Touch, H2, or Cross Game. One is a shounen sports manga, and the other is a slice of life manga disguised as a sports manga
