Generally, Baseball has faster pitches. Even though cricket gets a run up, the ball is generally bounced on the ground before it reaches the batsman thereby losing speed. It is not necessary to bounce the ball but it generally is not done because the surface area of cricket bat is larger than that of baseball there by helping the batter in cricket.( The game of cricket favours batsman more then their counterparts in baseball because of the rules).The topmost speed recorded in cricket is a little over100mph. It is also not clear as to how much is the ball speed when it reaches the batsman in both games for any sensible comparison.Hence one can say that the reaction time could be comparable.

Reputedly, one form of pelota has the highest ball speed. Specifically, the game is the version of Basque pelota played with a small hand-held basket to catch and return the ball.

The top speed recorded is 302 km per hour (188 mph).

No actually it is the Golf BALL long drivers have ball speeds exceding 216mph

Completely wrong. Lee Chong Wei smash a Badminton shot at a speed of 495 Km/h. Thats about 306mph.

The fastest bowlers and baseball pitchers are about the same speed at about 85-90 mph. The cricketers just win with Mohammed Sami of Pakistan clocked at 101.8 mph and Lynn Nolan Ryan pitching 100.9 mph for the Anaheim Angels.

Will striding when pitching make the baseball move at a higher speed?

While pitching your stride doesn't actually make the ball faster. What makes the ball look faster to a batter is how close you are. If you throw an 85mph fastball from 60 feet a batter will know but if you throw the same speed from 50 feet away the batter might think its coming 90-93 mph.
