I believe the answer is:

yorkers

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fantastic deliveries' is the definition.
'yorkers' can be an answer for 'deliveries' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'fantastic' bit.

'quick bowler so near one's stumps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one's' could be 'ers' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ers' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'york' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yorkers that I've seen before include "Fiendish cricket deliveries" , "Types of balls at cricket" .)
