A pitch's "clocked" speed can vary depending on the position of the radar gun. However today's speeds are measured at what's called the "50 feet" speed, meaning the speed of the ball at 50 feet. The distance from the pitcher to home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. Using this measure, pitchers have been able to throw well over 100 miles per hour. A typical Major League fastball is easy over 90 miles per hour.
