Years back I went to this cool batting cage that would throw like the MLB pitchers. Computerized fancy stuff. They put it on Rivera and it is amazing how fast that shite is. Only way I could touch it was swinging before the pitch... lol

Kimbrel hit 100 three or four times during the season via stadium guns. May have just been a juiced gun though. Pitch FXs usually has him 96-97 occasionally touching 98 or 99.

He did pump some in 101+ during the playoffs last year.

Pitchf/x has Kimbrel at 99.9 MPH this year, with 100.0 MPH being his career high.

Pitchf/x is the most accurate velocity info available.

There are other starters who can hit 100 or did earlier in their career. most veterans realize they don't have to put everything on every fastball to be effective. Most starters that hit 96 97 regular could reach 100
