About Justin Speier

  • Justin James Speier (born November 6, 1973) is an American former professional baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball.
  • He attended Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona.
  • Upon graduation from Brophy Prep, Speier attended the University of San Francisco where he played catcher for the Dons.
  • He also attended Nicholls State University.
  • Speier served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.
  • He is the son of former major league player and coach Chris Speier. Speier threw a four-seam fastball from an unusual angle which could reach anywhere between 89 and 94 miles per hour.
  • His success tended to be directly proportional to his fastball velocity, because the fastball set up his best strikeout pitch – a baffling, darting forkball, which caused great difficulty for hitters because of his unorthodox arm slot.
  • Speier also threw a two-seamer and a slider.
