Baseball is defined by its rich history and tradition. One of the most debated subjects is who could be the fastest pitcher. This info graphic collects the data from 40 of the best and/or fastest pitchers to ever live. It breaks down each of the methods used over the years to record the fastest pitchers of their time.
