What do you experts make of pitchers that have a high velocity but no listed fastball? I am currently staring at a fictional player who throws in upwards of 101mph but has an interesting assortment of pitches to his credit (in order of skill): splitter, cutter, knuckle curve, slider, changeup, curveball.

1. Does everyone have a fastball by default, even if it is not listed?
2. I understand that this guy isn't going to throw a 100mph splitter, but can I assume that his breaking pitches are harder than others?

This is in an online league so I can't play a game with him to see for myself and I probably will create a league and create a guy just like this so I can see for myself but I figured I'd ask first.

Thanks in advance.
