Last night, Yoenis Cespedes did this.
Two physicists on Twitter decided to run the numbers on the play, because HOLY COW HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, and here's what they found:
W better data on Cespedes throw: RT @pobguy: @Bbl_Astrophyscs @cwyers @sean_forman @fastballs 3.17s hang t, ~318' dist-->97-98 mph/12-15 deg

So, there you go. 97-98 mph, 318 feet, ON A DIME. How is that possible? Only Yo knows.
If you're interested in learning more about the process behind those calculations, check the timelines of @Bbl_Astrophyscs and @pobguy.
