Richard V: Oh yeah, Sidd Finch, I read that April Fool's Article, I thought it was awesome. A ton of people responded to it and everything, I thought that hardly any people have heard of it.

loads of the cost dimension relies upon on what variety of radar "gun" is getting used. One measures the cost as we talk following the pitchers launch of the ball; this velocity is the optimal dimension. the different variety of gun measures the cost of the pitch approximately 0.5 thank you to the plate. it is in all probability extra precise because of the fact the pitch has had a reasonable shrink in velocity because it procedures the plate and the batter. the better velocity gun is often favourite by ability of the stadium crews because it provides a much better "WOW" factor for the followers. the two way, Joel Zumaya or ZOOM has a super arm and is relaxing to visual show unit. on the gun used at Comerica Park in Detroit he has been clocked at 103 MPH, in no way heard of a valid dimension any greater than that. A notice on the subject of Mr. Hayden Finch reported in yet another answer. He become the fictitious character that George Plimpton wrote approximately for activities Illustrated's April 1st version approximately 2 many years in the past. for particular, no person has relatively thrown a baseball 168 MPH. Sorry Mr. Bundy, some little ones take those solutions as gospel.

168 mph
In its April 1985 edition, Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch and he could reportedly throw a baseball with startling, pinpoint accuracy at 168 mph.

According to Baseball Almanac it is Nolan Ryan at 100.9. So about 102. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/fastest-pitcher-in-baseball.shtml Someone else could have done it but this is from an offical site.
