Very few pro athletes can throw a 100 mph fastball (Nolan Ryan and Stephen Strasburg come to mind). The majority of the skill may be attributed to pure genetic luck.
You can improve the speed of your pitch with tactics and training. For example, practice with a weighted ball to build strength and stamina. For more drills to improve pitch speed, see the related link.

What pitches did david wells throw?
Fastball, Curveball, Changeup, Slider, Cutter, 2-Seamer. In his prime his fastball was about 92-93 MPH. His big, 12-6 curve was the what he was famous for....during the late 90s it was probably the best curveball in the game. His threw it about 70 MPH. The rest of his pitches were pretty average, but his fastball and that curveball were more than enough.
