Cardinals prospect Masyn Winn records 99.9 mph throw after sliding grab at shortstop

JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn has never been shy to put his full force behind a throw across the diamond.

Thursday was no exception.

In the sixth inning of the Cardinals’ home game against Houston at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla., the shortstop prospect ranged to his left on a ball hit up the middle by Houston’s Grae Kessinger, slid to haul in the grounder, popped up from his slide, and let it loose.

The throw to that reached first baseman Luken Baker’s mitt in time to get Kessinger out was clocked at 99.
