Stephen Louis Dalkowski Jr. (June 3, 1939 [1] – April 19, 2020), nicknamed Dalko, [2] was an American left-handed pitcher.He was sometimes called the fastest pitcher in baseball history and had a fastball that probably exceeded 100 mph (160 km/h).

It is typically the fastest pitch a pitcher throws, with recorded top speeds above 100 mph. Two general methods are used to throw a four-seam fastball. The first and most traditional way is to find the horseshoe seam area, or the area where the seams are the furthest apart.
For example, a batter swings at the oncoming ball as if it were a 90 mph (140 km/h) fastball, but instead the ball is coming in at 75 mph (121 km/h)—this means they will be swinging too early to hit the ball well (also known as being "way out in front"). Other names include a change-of-pace or a change. [2]
