Nolan Ryan was great but there are multiple pitchers that are better. Today his fastball wouldnt be something as special as it was back then.

Tough to say.
Radar guns have come a long way since he played. Back then there wasn't even uniformity on the types of guns they used and some were literally called fast guns and slow guns.
I've seen some estimates that would have him around 105 if they clocked his pitched w/the current tech.
Also, at the end of the day, the speed of the pitch is far less important than the movement the pitcher can put on it.
