100.9 mph. 5% deceleration from hand to the plate would equate to roughly a 105 mph fastball. I’d say his fastball was comparable to the fastest thr
Just an FYI, using your numbers from above would actually translate to 106.2 MPH. If it is a 7% decrease, that would work out to 108.5. And if drag reduces velocity by 10%, Ryan was throwing at 112.1 mph.
The average increase in velocity between the two measuring methods would depend on a lot of factors but the above is the math for the ranges from 5-10%.

I hope you’re not arguing Ryan threw 112 mph (or 108 for that matter)
