I thought Nolan Ryan had a 106 mph clocked pitch?

Sandy Kolfax was regularly in the low 100s.

I don’t think Ryan was clocked officially at 106. His career began with the Mets slightly before the 1st radar guns came out. I believe the 106 figure is an extrapolation based on early measurements to bring them in line with modern measuring techniques.
