The 18 Phase MLB Draft : CHAT

[Nosferatu]

Here's the thing about Nolan...overall record, walks, etc, are knocks against him. But he played on bad teams and often threw 150-170 pitches per game. My thing is, if you pitched him twice in a mock series, he might get you blown out one game, but if he's on the next, it's a no hitter.
Nolan hit 98 once during his final season at 46.
Then there's this...Guiness had Nolan with the fastest fastball at 100.9 but when they clocked him, they picked it up 10' from the plate. Aroldis Chapman now holds the record at 105.1, but that was picked up out of his hand. According to efastball.com, when both pitches crossed the plate, Chapman's was moving around 96.5 while Nolan's was 99.1, meaning, if measured the same way, Nolan's pitch would have been between 106-110

Most everything I have read about this was before Chapman but I have always believed Nolan Ryan and Bob Feller threw harder than anyone, I also read Walter Johnson got it up there in a hurry but I don't believe it was triple digits.

I've seen different studies that used time from pitch to plate that had Walter anywhere from 92-99. To me, a guy throwing upper 90's against athletes of that era would be like someone throwing 105 now. Like all athletes from the past, if Walter had been born with that arm, but had the advantages of pitching coaches, stretching programs, personal trainers, throwing programs, steroids...there's no telling
