Well, if you consider that the human body hasn't really evolved enough to make much physical difference since his era,(tho strength conditioning and nutrition has improved a lot) and the +/- of the measuring device, the fact that he didn't warm up, wasn't in uniform, nor off a mound, I think one could guess that WJ probably had 100 mph in him, or close anyway. Hitting 93 or so in shirtsleeves off flat ground without a normal warmup is pretty good, an extra 5-7 mph doesn't seem impossible.
