What's the fastest pitch ever thrown by a Major League Baseball pitcher?

The Cincinnati Reds left-hander, Aroldis Chapman holds the world record for fastest pitch ever thrown in major league baseball history. On September, 24th 2010, he set a world record by throwing a pitch that clocked 105.1 mph in a game at San Diego.

On Monday (4-18-2011), Chapman zipped a fastball past Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen that registered 106 mph on the Great American Ball Park scoreboard. However, MLB.com's Pitch/FX tracker clocked the throw at 105.

"However, the television broadcast radar read 105 mph and Pitch F/X had Chapman reaching a top speed of 102. Had the 106 mph been legitimate, it would have broken his previous record of 105.1 mph set in September last year in San Diego."
