Depends on what kind of pitch.. Anywhere from 70MPH to 95MPH... Some of them even get up to 100MPH-105MPH The fastest a Baseball has ever been thrown, verified by a radar gun and accepted by Major League Baseball, was thrown by Aroldis Chapman a left handed relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds on September 25, 2010. A major league fastball goes from about 88 miles per hour on the low end up over 100 MPH on the high end. There are plenty of pitchers, particularly left handed pitchers, whose fastball doesn't get over 84 or 85 MPH. To put this in perspective, Aroldis Chapman's off speed pitch, his slider, comes in over 90 MPH.

Yes, depending on the pitch is crucial. Speed is normally registered the fastest with a "fast ball " pitch.

In MLB, a 90 MPH fastball is considered good although there are several pitchers that can reach the high 90s with their fastball. Curveballs are generally in the low 80s MPH.
