I peaked in high 60s when I played in high school, but consistently threw mid 60s. I was an outfielder, not a pitcher, but I did throw batting practice before games we knew we are going to face a lefty. I stood in front of the mound to simulate throwing 80. I think the last time I was at Camden Yards I clocked in at 57, so I haven't lost too much off my peak. I only faced two pitchers who touched 90. One went on to Virginia Tech, the other blew out his shoulder before college.
My fastball was so slow....it stopped at railroad crossings.
Coincidentally, I believe 51 mph is the fastest pitch I ever threw in a competitive game, or in one of those "guess your speed" carnival boothes. All hail Greinke, the reigning king of the Eephus pitch!
After allowing a homer to Franmil Reyes, in Reyes' next at bat Greinke threw him a 51 mph strike, the slowest since speed records started being kept in 2008. Reyes watched it slowly make its way across the plate.
Zack Greinke (P) HOU - Apr. 12
https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/player.php?id=770426
Greinke (1-1) allowed six runs on 10 hits -- including three home runs -- over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Tigers on Monday. He struck out two and walked three batters.
ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Greinke was not happy with his slider and even suggested to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he could table the pitch. "I don't ever want to throw it again after today," Greinke said. "It was bad." Opponents have hit close to .300 against his slider the past two years, so he may be on to something.
In response to question Alex asks under Brogdon ... Zack is the only Opening Day SP WP ... none in the NL ...

I clicked on the Baseball-Reference link in the Brady Singer thread to the complete list of "highest strikes looking percentage" and the first thing that comes up is a list of Team Pitching Pitches. I sorted that list by highest strikes looking and who should appear at the top but the Houston Astros?
Clearly, opposing batters are unsure of themselves when they face the 'Stros.
And when they face the Nationals (who rank at the bottom) they go up thinking they better swing at the first strike they see, because it's going to be a fastball.
To be honest, I don't know what this stat tells us. But there is a fairly big difference top to bottom.
Astros: 30.1%
Nationals: 23.7%
