direction

speed

1 answer

The information being described is speed. While the fastball's motion does have direction (toward the batter from the mound), the term "98 miles per hour" specifically refers to the magnitude of the speed without considering the direction, which is why "speed" is the most appropriate choice. If both speed and direction were considered together, it would be referred to as "velocity."
