However, the faststest pitch ever recorded and universally accepted was thrown by: Joel Zumaya at 104.8 MPH.|||no one knows but I'm gonna go ahead and say Nolan Ryan because i know hes got up to about 104 on occasion|||I think its like 104 or somethin.|||Can't say for sure, but Joel Zumaya hit 104 in a game.

The list above IS NOT a comprehensive breakdown of every pitcher to ever surpass the 100 mph barrier, but rather a list of pitchers we have seen on ESPN Game of the Week, SportsCenter, or in person eclipsing the century mark. If you want to share an another or provide an accurate game date for those we have in the chart please send us an email.
So who is the fastest pitcher in baseball? Baseball Almanac honestly does not know. Major League Baseball does not recognize radar speeds as an official statistic. The Elias Sports Bureau, Stats Inc and The Sporting News are all highly respected resources who publish some form of record book every season, yet none of them recognize any pitcher as the fastest ever. Nobody really knows, but we do hope this article has shed some light on the topic and at least provided you with additional material to argue with your friends about.
hope that helps
