          I still believe a lot of pitcher that can throw heat can reach speeds of 100, but can't control it.

              I caught a kid who threw 95 in HS, and my hand still hurts from time to time to this day.

                My friend throw in the high 90's in HighSchool. Got drafted by the Giants in the 2nd round. I was playing catch with him one day when we were in high school and that hurt big time. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to catch 100 plus.

                  Human. There have been others who've hit 100+. I think Kyle Farnsworth has hit 105 and back in 2002, Guillermo Mota fired a 105 mph fastball that ended up being a 400 foot home run off of Ron Gant's bat.

                    I think what everyone is failing to realize is that everyone mentioned in this thread that threw or throws over 100mph, are right handers with the exception of Randy Johnson and Steve Dalkowski (who only played minor league ball).

                    That is what is impressive to most people. A lefty that tops out at 104mph is definitely a rarity.

                      105 MPH last night against Padres! NBC Sports is reporting it was the fastet pitch ever recorded.

                        Dude is unfreaking real, was lucky enough to see him pitch for the Bats this year. The 7 pitches to Gywnn where all between 102 and 105 mph, plus Chapman threw 25 pitches in his 1 1/3 innings of relief, and every one was at least 100 mph. I'm not any expert but isn't Aroldis's delivery less stressful then say guys like Strasburg? Not sure just asking.
                        I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                              Chapman needs to quit playing on rookie and adjust his sliders.

                                Love love love watching him pitch. Guys know what's coming and still can't hit him. I'm not even waiting for him to come back down to earth anymore, I'm just enjoying seeing this as it goes.
