"Velocity."
Ugh. This bothers me. Most of the time they just mean "speed." Velocity is a physics term that applies to speed plus direction. Announcers just say velocity instead of speed when referring to pitchers ("He has good velocity on his fastball!") because it makes them sound smarter. They're not. Even if it's become "common usage" that velocity can now mean simple rapidity or speed of motion as opposed to the actual physics definition, it still sounds pretentious and lame.

they need to use the term velocity for pitchers such as Mark Wohlers and Rick Ankiel since we really don't know what direction the ball is going in
