As usual scientific procedure evades everyone here. the pitch should be (should have been all along) measured from the time it leaves a pitchers hand to the time it crosses the plate. THAT WAY it can be measured from all distances from the plate (if you will) so measurements from a specific distance won't cloud the argument. AND the actual speed and decay of speed can be measured correctly. nobody has done this and if anyone has pitched 108 (Nolan Ryan) then it has to be in certain conditions condusive to less resistance of the ball. Oh gee, another factor, the Baseball.... Are they using the same baseballs with the same materials, etc. as they did in the early Bob Feller years??? I doubt it. Well, the real answer will never be known will it... unless the measurements are taken as I have stated from now on will they? I'm sure technology can take old film and use the frame rates and calculate approximate speeds along with measurements taken in earlier days, but, i think those pitch speeds of the past will be lost forever.... to speculation and that good ole magic that surrounds baseball.... baseball lore eh?
I throw the fastest Corey Kavanagh - fredericton, nb, Canada
I throw 74 mph !!!

There was a kid on Georgia in 2010 Jacob pate who throw 77-80 mph
That is insane im not saying that you are lying but that is just so hard to believe if you are fifteen and you throw over 80 you are pretty fast
The fastest officially clocked pitch was by Brian Jarrell at 72 MPH.
I say it is 85
The fastest pitch ever thrown clocked officially was 78 MPH.
The fastest recorded baseball pitch by a 12-year-old is around 70 mph. However, speeds can vary greatly depending on the individual's level of training, physical development, and technique.
The fastest ever recored softball pitch is 95. By a 18 year old in Texas!!
Shahid Afridi made the fastest fifty in five year.
The fastest 5K for a 12-year-old girl is 16:17, according to the No Excuses 5K. (14:52 for 12-year-old boys.)
Average speed for a 10 year girl is between 37 and 41 mph. Most travel ball pitchers can pitch 40 mph or more.
The fastest present to get for a 44 year old woman is a telephone call expressing how much you love her. You can also have a gift overnighted to her.
