Chin-Hui Tsao of the Rockies threw 98 mph during his start on April 22, 2003 when he was with the Tulsa Drillers.

C. M. Wang of the AA Yankees also has a max velocity 96-97 mph. One pitcher I am curious about is Korean legend D. Y. Sun. Does anybody know how hard he threw during his prime?

Chanho Park use to be able to throw 97 mph when he first came up with the Dodgers. Now that he signed a fat contract, he doesn't need to pitch at all.

I heard that Ryu with the Cubs touched 100 a few times.
Also Kuo with the Dodgers was reportedly at 98 on occasion. Not bad for an 18 year old lefty. He has since had two Tommy Johns, so we'll see if the velocity returns.

Really? Where'd you hear that? I've seen Ryu pitch a few times and he touched 96 but mainly threw in the 91-93 mph range.

Yeah, I haven't heard Ryu hit that high either, and I believe Kuo had 3 Tommy John surgerys. He had one this past year that cost him the entire year.

A few names come to mind: Hideki Irabu 98 mph, Hayato Terahara 96-97 mph, Kuo Tai Yuan 97-98 mph, Matsuzaka 96 mph. Can anyone else think of others out there?
