Learn some physics man:
Solving for initial velocity with unknown time
vf = 0 ft/s (at max height)
a = -32.174 ft/s2 (gravity)
x = 300 ft
Therefore
vi = 139 ft/s = 94.8 mph
This assumes zero air resistance and a perfectly vertical throw. Plus, just because you can throw 80 mph horizontally doesn't mean you could do it vertically. I say there isn't a single human being on the planet that could do this.
