Right. A data-based approach is unsatisfying. Here is a related question:
How fast can a baseball pitcher throw a ball? Will we ever see a 125 mph fastball? There's no equipment involved (running shoes, etc.)
I saw an physics-based analysis of this once, based on the tendons in the arm and shoulder. Your muscles might get stronger and your mechanics might be optimized, but the tendons do not improve. At what speed will they just snap?
This video is only a little bit about that, when the physiologist mentions the ligaments. It's hugely entertaining, though:
