As this is a rule of thumb, it really doesn't apply to supers. We have no experience with them, and it would be horribly inaccurate with them. Additionally, as a Supers rule of thumb, you see strong supers throwing massive things great distances, which is more important here than anything applicable to the real world.
A baseball weighs, roughly, 1/3 of a pound. A baseball player with a ST of 12 (Not an unreasonable ST for a baseball player) could throw that ball . . . 522 yards. Which would be 1,044 mph.
I think there's something wrong with the application of your rule of thumb.
This is supers.
