Over the weekend, Ben Joyce of the University of Tennessee threw a pitch recorded at 105.5 mph. This is the 2nd fastest pitch ever recorded anywhere, 2nd only to Aroldis Chapman's 105.8 mph pitch in 2010. Of course there is some question about the radar gun used but it's still amazing. Joyce is a reliever and, altho he is a redshirt junior, apparently this is his 1st year at a 4-yr college, having transferred from a junior college. He has a 0.86 ERA and a 16.3 K/9 rate. He is draft-eligible and is listed at #131 on BA's draft prospects list.

I've read this sentence too many times trying to make sense of it and I give up. Is it the fastest or 2nd fastest?Originally posted by rhd View Post -

And Joyce has one of the better nicknames I've seen in a while, "The Volunteer Fireman."Comment
