When they operated, I told them to put in a Koufax fastball. They did-but it was Mrs. Koufax's.

Once (Stan) Musial timed your fastball, your infielders were in jeopardy.
Warren Spahn
Image
I trust that I can hit a fastball, that I can hit any pitch they throw to me.
Albert Pujols

Death ain't nothing but a fastball on the outside corner.
August Wilson

Trying to sneak a fastball by Ted Williams was like trying to sneak a sunbeam by a rooster in the morning.

No baseball pitcher would be worth a darn without a catcher who could handle the hot fastball.

The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he's in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good.

I try to do two things: locate my fastball and change speeds. That's it. I try to keep as simple as possible. I just throw my fastball (to) both sides of the plate and change speed every now and then. There is no special food or anything like that, I just try to make quality pitches and try to be prepared each time I go out there.

I looked for the same pitch my whole career, a breaking ball. All of the time. I never worried about the fastball. They couldn't throw it past me, none of them.
Hank Aaron

My changeup looks like a fastball, but one goes straight and the other goes away from the righthanded hitter. Sometimes it cuts by itself, and I don't know where it's going.
Johan Santana

Back in the day when I played, a pitcher had 3 pitches: a fastball, a curveball, a slider, a changeup and a good sinker pitch.

My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn't hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn't warm up good enough, couldn't throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball.

The last start of spring training, my (cut fastball) was okay. It just wasn't what I wanted it to be. I tried to work on making it cut more and do more. I think that set (the forearm) off ... trying to make it move a lot, cut a lot. I'm just going to back off and trust it a little bit more and not try and push that.

The final release point for the fastball is the tips of your fingers.
Steve Carlton

You have to hit the fastball to play in the big leagues.

You've got to be ready for the fastball.

Walter Johnson's fastball looked about the size of a watermelon seed and it hissed at you as it passed.
Ty Cobb

But the Twins opened the fifth with their second and third hits, and Beltre helped Hernandez by taking his bullet throw for a force at third on a bunt try. I felt it, ... My only worry was that he didn't throw me a sinker. He threw hard, but a good fastball.
Adrian Beltre

I guess I prefer the laughs. I couldn't do a whole set of just shocks, but I like throwing a fastball inside every now and then to keep people on their toes.

I'm not like a 90-mph fastball kind of guy, but I can hit 70 on radar gun.
Ben Gibbard

I'm a fastball hitter. It's no secret I'm looking for a fastball every pitch. I think it's one of the hardest things to do in sports-to hit a moving baseball.
Carlos Delgado

Later, I could take something off my slider and I could make my fastball sink, so I really had four pitches.
Dennis Eckersley

You must not be afraid of small bits of silence. To use it well is the height of confidence and skill for a comedian. It increases the tension in a good way and adds contrast like a curveball complements the fastball of a good pitcher.
Franklyn Ajaye

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games
