What Is the Fastest Pitch in MLB and Who Recorded It? Know the Fastest Pitch in 2023–24 Season
Let’s take a look at the moment when the fastest pitch ever in the history of MLB happened. Read on to know more!
One of the things that make MLB exciting for the fans and the players, is the speed of the pitch delivered by a pitcher. Firing the ball at lightning speed is a fear that only a few can conquer. Shooting the ball at a speed of more than 100 mph is not everyone’s job and only a person with an exceptional skillset can master it.
Fastest pitch in MLB history
History was created in MLB when Chapman, who was then a rookie relief pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, fired a ball at 105.1 mph speed, recorded by a PITCH/FX system introduced in 2006. Chapman’s fastest delivery then upgraded to 105.8 mph which he recorded on September 24, 2010.
Even after 575 career innings and numerous 100mph+ pitches, Chapman continues to hold the crown of the fastest pitcher in the history of MLB.
