Ben Joyce: LA Angels pitcher throws fastest ever MLB strikeout
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ben Joyce throws the fastest strikeout recorded in Major League Baseball history, striking out Los Angeles Dodgers’ Tommy Edman with a 105.5mph fastball.
Only current Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Aroldis Chapman has thrown two swifter pitches, reaching 105.8mph in 2010 and 105.7mph in 2016, but Joyce’s was the fastest pitch thrown for a strikeout.
