Which Pitcher Has The Fastest Fastball And...

Usually when u go to the details of the pitcher, the ones with the highest numbers next to their pitch would have the best. Its pretty much an average of speed and movement.

The numbers in the game really don't reflect the accurate velocities of the pitchers' pitches...I mean, Carlos Zambrano throws regularly at 98-99, yet the game has his fastball at 94 or so.

Well, the pitcher today with the highest velocity on his fastball is Gagne, who can get up to 102 mph...All-time= Nolan Ryan.

Farnsworth in the game is the only one who i have seen hit 100.

Although I edited Burnett to pitch 100, due to his fastball is around the 98-101 mph range when he pitches.

I have a guy on my minor league team that can hit 100 (john verlander). Also a reliever that hits 99 (cappelan or something like that). However speed does not equal good. Verlander can give up alot of homers on "perfect pitches" on the corners. In my dynasty I faced, Pedro, Randy Johnson, then Rogers Clemens back to back to back. Johnson was by far the toughest (his slider is very wicked)he one hit me, but luckily my hit was a homer by Pujols and i won. The next game I faced tim wakefield, and I would much rather hit 102mph fastballs than try to hit those damn knucleballs. The guys that give me the most problems are the ones that have like a 95+mph 4 seamer then a <90mph 2 seamer. By the time i distinguish the pitch usually its too late.

Lidge hits 100 on occasion and his slider moves a ton as well.

Oliver Perez slider also has great movement

There is a minor league pitcher in the cleveland system (his name might be adam miller) who throws 100

Hope that helps. There's a good chance some of the 98mph guys are fake players, but I'm not too sure. I can't even remember which roster set I'm using these days.
