This not true.....look in the guiness book of world record for your answer....Im not sure but if i recall correctly it is 130 mph and it was thrown underhand...peace
130 mph? Good night! Of course, I was talking major leagues here. But, anyway, the thing I read said that there was a controversy about it because they had "recalibrated" the radar guns. But that makes sense cuzz I thought guys like Bob Feller, Sandy Koufax and even Ryan bumped over that pretty often...

When Randy Johnson reaches his 7th no-hitter, and collects 5700+ strikeouts while pitching into his mid 40's, he will be considered the best of this era. Until then, its easily Nolan Ryan. Hmm...Nolan, that's a nice name.
