AROLDIS CHAPMAN
Brilliant young rookie pitcher Aroldis Chapman of the Cincinnatti Reds set a Major League record Friday night when one of his pitches was clocked at 105 miles-per-hour. That’s the fastest pitch ever recorded in big league history.
The 105 MPH pitch was no fluke. Chapman hit 105 in the minors a month ago.
The Yahoo! Sports blog “Big League Stew” has an impressive post in its Saturday edition. Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman reportedly threw a pitch that hit 105 miles-per-hour on a radar gun. That’s among the fastest pitches clocked in history. Chapman pitches for Louisville of the International League. He is expected to be called up to the Reds next week.
