- Watching Bartolo early in his career, I’d see him consistently throwing 97-100 mph. He was always a smart pitcher but his speed was at the top of the league at that time. Just burning guys. Now, at 40-plus years old, his fastball is closer to 90 mph, which is still fast, but I’d argue he’s an even better pitcher now.aybe when I was younger I got too obsessed with the speed of a pitch. Throwing a faster fastball became a personal challenge with myself. And there was always a better number — 96, 97, 98 mph. I was always trying to push the number higher.

Fastball The pitch is used often by the pitcher to get ahead in the count or when he needs to throw a strike. This type of fastball is intended to have minimal lateral movement, relying more on its velocity. It is often perceived as the fastest pitch a pitcher throws, with recorded top speeds above 100 mph. The fastest pitch recognized by MLB was on September 25, 2010, at Petco Park in San Diego by then Cincinnati Reds left-handed relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman. It was clocked at 105.1 miles per hour. April 19, 2011 Chapman lit up the stadium radar gun at 106 MPH (the TV-reading had his pitch at 105 MPH, and the pitchF/X reading was actually 102.4 MPH).

The Science Of Baseball: What Is The Fastest A Pitcher Can Throw? A 90 MPH fastball, the go-to pitch and speed for the top echelon of pitchers, is travelling at 132 feet per second. Since the ball is closer to the batter when it is released and because the batter is in the middle of the plate depth, we are really only talking about 55 feet to see a pitch rather than just over 60.

In baseball, what's the difference between an average AAA and an average Major League player? I was watching a national Sunday night MLB game with the S.F. Giants against “who knows what team”. There's a particular S.F. “reliever” who has a straight fastball clocked at close to 100 MPH. The commentator was Curt Schilling and he said this pitcher was a “thrower” but not a “pitcher”.
