I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.
Hank Aaron
I thought I had to show all my stuff and I almost tore the boards of the grandstand with my fastball.
Cy Young
I'm not like a 90-mph fastball kind of guy, but I can hit 70 on radar gun. I hit 70 one time on a radar guy at one of those pitch-and-throw kind of things. I have a pretty good arm for somebody who's not a baseball player.
Ben Gibbard
I've got a fastball, change-up, forkball, curve, slider, knuckle-slider, knuckle-curve, I had about seven pitches I could have used at any time.
Chili Davis
Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.
Dennis Eckersley
No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.
Casey Stengel
The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.
Steve Carlton
The good rising fastball is the best pitch in baseball.
Tom Seaver
The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games.
Greg Maddux
Trying to sneak a fastball past Hank Aaron is like trying to sneak the sunrise past a rooster.
Joe Adcock
When Bryan Price taught me how to throw a changeup, he made me see myself. All my life, I've been the equivalent of a fastball pitcher - trying to use blazing speed and brute force to wow the people around me.
Eric Liu
You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.
Ted Williams
