Please enjoy this video of Ray Black, who has thrown a fastball 104 danged miles per hour in the Arizona Fall League, and I don't care if it was a hot gun. It's hot now.
The last time a Giants pitcher threw 101 mph in the majors was Erik Cordier. The last time a Giants pitcher threw 102 mph was ... no, I'm going to make you guess. The answer is at the end. In the AFL Fall Stars Game, Black threw only 101 mph. Maybe there's something wrong with him.
The hardest thrower in the Minor Leagues didn't hit 104 mph like he did earlier in the AFL season, but he did pop a 101-mph fastball and averaged 99.
