who holds the record for fastest softball pitch
Fastpitch softball The fastest pitch on record was thrown by Eddie Feigner of "The King and His Court" who was clocked at 104 mph.[3] Feigner was at his best in the 1950s, and it is doubtful if this figure is correct. More recently, measured with modern radar guns, the best women are clocked at up to 75 mph and the best men at 85 mph.
Little League Softball World Series The Little League Softball World Series is a softball tournament for girls aged 11 to 12 years old. It was first held in 1974 and is held every August in Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
Steve Dalkowski According to the Guinness Book of Records, the current record holder for fastest pitch is Nolan Ryan, with a pitch clocked at 100.9 mph (162.4 km/h) in 1974, though the record has not been updated in many years and several pitchers have recorded faster pitches since then. That seems to be because Ryan's speed was recorded 10' from the plate, unlike 10' from release as today, costing him up to 10 MPH. http://www.efastball.com/baseball/stats/fastest-pitch-speed-in-major-leagues/ Earl Weaver, who had years of exposure to both pitchers, said, "[Dalkowski] threw a lot faster than Ryan."[23] The hardest thrower in baseball currently is recognized as Aroldis Chapman, who has been clocked with the fastest pitch on record at 105.1 mph (169 km/h).
Aroldis Chapman On July 11, 2014, Chapman broke the record, previously held by Bruce Sutter, for the most consecutive relief appearances with a strikeout, having struck out at least one batter in 40 consecutive appearances. Chapman's streak began on August 21, 2013,[2] and lasted 49 consecutive games over two seasons, with the 49th and final game being on August 13, 2014. He shares the record for the fastest recorded pitch speed in MLB history, at 105.1 miles per hour (169.1Â km/h),[3] as well as the Guinness World Record for fastest baseball pitch.[4]
