Ran across this video I've never seen before. Had some interesting parts about pitchers and fastballs.
They talk with a lot of pitchers. Gibson, Verelander, Gossage, Chapman and many more. Breakdown the way they clocked speed through time.
In the end they say Ryan was was the fastest.

A great find. Everyone with 90 minutes should watch.
Ryan with an injured elbow threw his very last pitch 98 MPH at 46 y/o.
incredible and a complete freak. 200+ pitches in a game.
I've discussed this with others who will say that a pitcher "only has 1 pitch".
But if it's elite it is so much more than only 1.
Shout out to you Dewey and Steve Dalkowski. 110 MPH.
Re: Fastballs
What about Sid Finch, with the 160 mph fastball.
Re: Fastballs
There are two d's in Sidd. And he was a wonder.
