I think Walter Johnson threw just as hard as Randy Johnson
Why would you think that?

Walter Johnson? It's a whole of a lot more likely that he barely reached 90mph than coming anywhere near Randy Johnson. He was measured at 91mph. Seems like it wasn't surely accurate, but there's also no way to know in which direction it may have missed, if it did.

So a guy topping out at 90mph, pitching on 3 day's rest(so he's basically never reaching top speeds), and pitching almost exclusively fastballs as he rarely relied on his other 2 pitches...that guy would fare well in today's game?? How?
