Braves to sign 43-year old Bartolo Colon. The Atlanta Braves will furnish their new ballpark with the oldest player in the majors as the franchise agreed to a deal with 43-year-old Bartolo Colon.
Watching Bartolo early in his career, Iâd see him consistently throwing 97-100 mph. He was always a smart pitcher but his speed was at the top of the league at that time. Just burning guys. Now, at 40-plus years old, his fastball is closer to 90 mph, which is still fast, but Iâd argue heâs an even better pitcher now.aybe when I was younger I got too obsessed with the speed of a pitch. Throwing a faster fastball became a personal challenge with myself. And there was always a better number â 96, 97, 98 mph. I was always trying to push the number higher.
