The fascinating documentary film “Fastball” examines the details of the fastball pitch, how it works and has evolved over the decades, interviewing scientists, scouts, and baseball legends alike to get their perspective on this most essential part of the game of baseball. Some of the players interviewed include Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Tony Gwynn, Justin Verlander, Bob Gibson, Ernie Banks, Derek Jeter, and many more.
Director Jonathan Hock (“The Lost Son of Havana” 2009) and producer Thomas Tull (“42” 2013) accomplished this definitive work on the subject, narrated by actor Kevin Costner and produced by Major League Baseball. One intriguing question asked and answered in “Fastball”: Who made the fastest pitch in history?
