I recall reading that in the late 40s, Feller's fastball was clocked at 98 mph using a device that was used to measure the velocity of artillery shells. This measurement was as the ball crossed the plate, not as it left his hand, so it probably more like 100 mph. Even considering that the measuring device may have been less accurate than modern technology, that is some heat. And that was Feller slightly past his prime. I would think that guys like Paige and Johnson had similar speed.
