A generation ago, the idea of 100-plus pitchers in the minor leagues throwing 100-plus miles per hour would have been unfathomable. Clearly, that’s not the case anymore.
This season, 125 minor leaguers threw a pitch 100 mph or faster in a game. Multiple pitchers exceeded 103, while a couple even touched 104.
Nowadays, a fan could watch any level of professional baseball and have a pretty good chance of seeing someone on the pitching staff who throws 100 mph. Given the strong correlation between velocity and career success, it’s not a surprise.
And while some may long for what they remember as the “good old days” of precision pitchers tossing in the low 90s, todayâ€s hardest throwers have more command than ever. And there’s getting to be more of them, too. The 2025 list is more extensive than ever—last year’s total was just 90—meaning that just throwing 100 mph is no longer a guarantee for a major league career.
Still, reaching triple digits is impressive. Below you’ll find the complete list of minor league pitchers who stood out for their max velocity in 2025.
