The first "official" 100 mph pitch was thrown by Nolan Ryan, whose 100.9 is still the official record.
Unofficially, many have surpassed Ryan's mark, but there's a great deal of question about the validity of the numbers given the varying performances of radar guns.

Bob Feller. His pitch outran a car traveling at 100 mph, that was before radar though.
Most likely The Big Train Walter Johnson could throw over 100 mph, but we have no way to know that.

Older days of baseball one ball could be used throughout an entire game and nobody would think twice about it. Now if a ball hits the dirt, there is a new ball. The game has changed and too many balls are used now.

No one will be able to answer this question because it likely happened long before we were capable of measuring MPH.
