The fastest pitch ever to be recorded was thrown before radarguns were invented but was measured in recent years and was said to have been thrown at 116 mph by Satchel Paige. (this pitch of course was thrown after the Negro leagues were terminated and he entered the MLB for the Baltimore Orioles)

Roger Clement did at 103mph . Why do you think that they call him the rocket ?

For his steroid use, of course. The fastest pitch in MLB history was by Cincnnati Reds left handed reliever Aroldis Chapman at Petco Park in San Diego. He was clocked at 105.1 MPH. The Rocket? puleeze.
