Gary Wasilewski was a pitcher who I believed pitched in the 1960's. I heard his fastball ranged well over 100 miles per hour. Is this true? I've had no success finding information about him.

I don't know about him, but there was one Steve Dalkowski, who has been consistently credited as the fastest pitcher ever. He never made it to the ML, but in the minors with the O's he was famous for his speed, well over 100 MPH, and his lack of control, which kept him out of the Majors. If Wasilewski had been as fast, he surely would have been known like Dalkowski was.
By the way, Dalkowski was a lefty and played mostly during the 60's.

Actually spelled Gary Waslewski. I cannot find anything saying he was the fastest and nothing showing his top speed. Athough there are several pitchers who were clocked @ 103 MPH but the radar was called unreliable.

I heard once that a physics ecpert said his fastball could have been as fast as 108 mph! Thats a beast right there.

No information. But, then, we've got some mean pitchers doing it now, and they are no hall-of-famers. P.S. how about Bob Feller?

no luck...are you sure that's the right name? there are a lot of pitchers in current ball that throw over 100mph now.
