If the softball was measured in time then check you stop watch. The ball speed at a softball pitching distance would be traveling several hundred miles per hour at time stated. A very fast softball pitcher will have a release to catcher time around .5 seconds.
It's difficult to attribute the invention of the fastball to a single person, as it has likely been used by players since the early days of baseball. However, pitchers like Amos Rusie and Christy Mathewson are known for popularizing and perfecting the pitch in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Arnoldis Chapman threw a 106 Mile Per Hour fastball against Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2014.
Sports historians who have seen Johnson piotch on old newsreels have estimated that he ONCE threw a fastball close to 120 mph. I doubt that. Unfortunately, there were no radar guns in those days, but a munitions factory once calculated his fastball at 92 mph, a speed virtually unknown in his day, except possibly for Smoky Joe Wood. In any case, he was the fastest pitcher of his day, and his speed is all the more awesome because he was a sidearm pitcher, as opposed to most power pitchers who come straight overhand.
Aroldis Chapman threw a couple 105s

Aroldis Chapman- Cincinnati Reds Clocked at 105mph.... in 2010
It means that when the pitcher threw the ball the batter hit the ball into the field of play and was credited with a base hit.
Nolan Ryan, known for his incredible fastball, was recorded throwing as fast as 108.1 miles per hour during a game in 1974, making him one of the hardest throwers in baseball history. Throughout his career, he consistently threw in the mid to upper 90s, and his velocity was a key factor in his success as a pitcher. Even in his later years, he maintained remarkable speed for an aging player. Ryan's legendary fastball contributed to his status as a Hall of Famer and a strikeout leader.
The pitcher walked slowly to the mound. The waitress brought over a fresh pitcher of beer.
The pitcher who hit and killed Ray Chapman was Carl Mays. The tragic incident occurred on August 16, 1920, when Mays threw a fastball that struck Chapman in the head during a game between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians. Chapman suffered a skull fracture and died the following day, marking the only fatality in Major League Baseball history caused by a pitched ball.
