No one currently throws the ball harder than Los Angeles Angels rookie Ben Joyce. He's getting closer to making it so no one in history has either.
With 105.5 mph fastball to strike out Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Tommy Edman, Joyce came 0.3 mph shy of throwing the fastest recorded pitch in MLB history. Only Aroldis Chapman, with pitches of 105.8 mph and 105.7 mph, has thrown the ball harder off the mound.
The broadcast radar gun showed the velocity as 106 mph.
BEN JOYCE JUST THREW 105.
