If only he threw more strikes.
Baseball America found that 63 pitchers in Minor League Baseball were clocked at 100 mph or greater on a radar gun in 2018, the lowest total in at least three years. Dillon Maples was the sole Cubs minor leaguer to hit the mystical triple-digits.
Baseball America has compiled this list for each of the past three years and also in 2014. For the first time on their records, the number of pitchers with a 100 mph fastball went down. In 2017, a whopping 81 pitchers hit 100 mph including three Cubs pitchers: Maples, James Norwood and Justin Hancock.
