major league baseball

107 Miles per hour, pitched by Nolan Ryan.

I know at one time it was Nolan Ryan at 100.3 mph, but thats pobably been beaten by now.

he did 101.9 in 2002-4 I think? Anyhow its hard because those radar guns are usually calibrated to read slightly higher for better crowd reaction =/

108 miles per hour... Nolan Ryan or Bob Feller

nolan ryan with 103 MPH when he pitched it it of course struck the guy out and the guy said to the umpire "i didnt even see it" that is how fast the pitch was.

i'm extremely positive that Kerry Wood, when he was a flame-throwing healthy beast, threw a pitch that was almost 104mph, but I think it was like 103.7 or around that area

Nolan Ryan also threw a 100.9mph pitch on August 20, 1974

but Baseball Almanac states that Mark Wohlers, of the Braves, threw a 103mph pitch in Spring Training

GO CUBS

Detroit's Joel Zumaya threw one at 106 last season.

Cant remember who it was against, and cant remember when it happened, but I just remember it said 106 and the announcers went crazy.

103 mph, Nolan Ryan.

P.S. The guy who said 108 mph is out of his league.

Baseball Almanac honestly does not know. Major League Baseball does not recognize radar speeds as an official statistic. The Elias Sports Bureau, Stats Inc and The Sporting News are all highly respected resources who publish some form of record book every season, yet none of them recognize any pitcher as the fastest ever. Nobody really knows, but we do hope this article has shed some light on the topic and at least provided you with additional material to argue with your friends.

But the 2 listed were tied between:
