Well, in all honesty, steroids and amphetamines certainly play a part...but this is definitely becoming the era of the pitcher. Every team has a few starters now that pump it up there 95+ and then you get to bullpens like the Royals, for example, where you have three guys who throw it damn near 100...100 is basically unhittable unless you're lucky. There is a huge difference between 90 to 95...and a HUGE difference from 95 to 100. There certainly weren't this many hard throwing pitchers even 10 years ago...and also, hence all the arm injuries.
