Fastest pitch ever recorded in MLB?

[dave nz]

The Aroldis Chapman thread got me thinking when someone said he was clocked at 102 during spring training. Anyone know what the fatest pitch ever recorded is in MLB regular or postseason season? Did a quick net search and I think 100.8 or so is the tops, but could be wrong.

Pretty sure Nolan Ryan hit 103 in a game before

Joel Zumaya, 105

though I've also read that ballpark radar guns are sometimes a bit off and a couple MPH higher than they should be, just for show

Ya teams will sometimes fudge the numbers. Teams like to post slow readings at home for the road teams flamethrower just to mess with his head.

Yeah exactly, it happens in all sports, rugby/NFL players exaggerate their weight and physical capabilities from time to time. Cricket same as baseball bowling /pitching speeds, the list goes on.......

Ryan, Koufax for sure possibly Broxton i've heard of him hitting 101 Chapman was clocked at 102 in a spring training game last week but that does not count.
