    I would venture to say he threw that fast in a practice game or at practice with a amateur gun. I dont doubt he threw that fast on a "good" day or what not. But never in a game.

    I would never doubt the 2nd best pitcher ever.

    Saw Wagner pitch a few years back....unfortunatly he was saving a game against the Braves. He hit 100 on the Braves gun that day. I don't think he is as impressive as Randy Johnson.....I'm 80 percent positive i saw him hit 100 in the 7th inning of a game once, he was about 100 pitches into the game too.

    There was also some guy from Cuba or somewhere that the Mets looked at back in the '80's that could throw 120. But he was getting old or somthing.

    there are a couple things on that. I think that would be all over the news, or I would have heard about it or anyone for that matter, and he would be pitching. 2, why isn't that in the Baseball Almanac? http://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/fastest-pitcher-in-baseball.shtml

    I just dont think thats possible.
