RA Dickey pretty well did that

Nah. I was joking, but Dickey's knucklers were around 70.

Closer to 80, which is probably the fastest knuckleball ever.
Fun fact about Dickey is he was born without a UCL in his pitching elbow. Tommy John proof. Kind of a shame he wasn’t a flame thrower
I did not know that. Seems like he should have mastered the screwball.

Interesting article about measuring pitch speeds.

Where velocity is recorded on the journey from the mound to home plate makes all the difference. Take Aroldis Chapman, for example.

If they weren’t so retarded, they would have built a plane that wouldn’t need to have the landing gear replaced in the air.
This literally is why I think you're one of the best.

R.A. Dickey may have broken reality and hit 102 mph with his knuckleball

deGrom is weird. He kept throwing faster and faster every year, and his body just couldn’t handle it. Him routinely hitting 101 was nasty, but he was still one of the best in the game when he was throwing 97, and staying there might have prevented the injuries that will likely keep the best pitcher in baseball for a good stretch out of the HOF
3 lost seasons in a row now. Mets letting him walk was an uncharacteristically smart move by them

Blind squirrels and acorns
Poor Texas, though. They have probably overpaid for more players with less results than any team not named Mets
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim adjacent to Riverside and San Diego counties would like to have a word with you.
