After the 2019 season, Cincinnati Reds reliever/outfielder/pinch hitter Michael Lorenzen said he was going to use the offseason to try and add some velocity. He was already one of the hardest throwers in the game, ranking 16th in baseball among 149 qualified relievers with at least 50 innings thrown last season.

While there are times where a radar reading will say 100, it’s going to round up or down. According to Brooks Baseball, Michael Lorenzen’s hardest pitch in a Major League game registered 100.
