Cobb vs. The Aces
Posted By: jay behrens
Given the fact there were no radar guns to measure a pitch back then, speed estimates have to be taken with a large grain of salt. If you have ever seen film of pitchers throwing in a game back then, there is almost no way they could be throwing 100+ mph as almost everyone had a sidearm delivery back then which is not condusive to throwing the fastest possible pitch. This is also a big reason as to why pitchers could pitch more, and more often. The motion puts much less strain on the arm. He might have occasionallt thrown in the low to mid 90s, but I doubt he ever hit 100 mph.
