With a blazing fastball that approached 100 miles per hour and a work ethic like none other, Nolan Ryan dominated hitters for an unparalleled 27 seasons on his way to 5,714 strikeouts, an all-time record. During four decades of prominence, he totaled 324 victories and a host of major league records. Most notable of his milestones are a mystifying seven no-hitters and 12 one-hitters. The eight-time All-Star fanned a single-season record 383 batters in 1973, and his career strikeouts encompassed 1,176 different players.
Did You Know... that Nolan Ryan is the only pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitched balls in both the National League (April 19, 1968) and the American League (July 9, 1972)?

These are all Radar Gun Readings, I have heard of Feller's 107 timed by measuring from his release to the catcher getting the ball.

According to my reading from Uncle John's Bathroom reader, Nolan Ryan, when he was with the Houston Astro's was clocked throwing 101.5 mph, but there are many who dispute this number. The problem with how speed guns are used, and when they take their measurements contributes to the discrepancies. Many different pictures have hit 100 mph - 105mph but it varies, ballpark to ballpark. I like Nolan Ryan and most hitters think that his fastball had a little too much zip!
