    1.375 seconds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    One mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. Throwing at 30 miles an hour is 0.5 miles each minute, or one mile every 120 seconds (Unfortunately for the pitcher, I don't think the ball would make it to home plate). That means it travels 1/120 miles each second, or 44 feet (5280/120). The ball will reach home plate in 1.375 seconds (60.5/44).
