Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds zinged the fastest pitch ever recorded from a professional baseball game on Sep 25, 2010, a 106 mph fastball which got rival lovers to the San Diego Padres moaning and sighing. Currently within the Reds bullpen, Chapman shattered his personal record in the fastest pitch ever recorded, slamming a 106 MPH fastball inside the 9th inning towards the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chapman is a Cuban talent who has at last provided fans in Cincinnati something to get fired up about. The Cuban's pitches consistently break 100 mph, no surprise he has the fastest pitch ever recorded , plus his performances from the bullpen tend to be the only glowing area in a Cincinnati athletics surroundings that continues to be taken over from mediocrity for a multitude of years. From the 25 pitches Chapman used in less than 2 innings of play, none of them were below 100 mph.

$30 million deal. Clean off the boat via Cuba, major league pitcher Aroldis Chapman ok'd a $30 million deal, this is before he threw the fastest pitch ever recorded, for the Cincinnati Reds. Aroldis crafted his professional debut August 31, 2010, versus the Milwaukee Brewers; his initial pitch was recorded at 98 mph as a strike, and then later in the same game he sent one home at 103 mph.

106 MPH. The radar gun over the television that night said 105.1, however the stadium (official) gun recorded the throw at 106 MPH, the fastest pitch ever recorded in history. In any event, that is one fast mother. You can find hear a audible disturbance from the audience when the radar numbers shows up within the stadium scoreboard. It could be the most exciting ball you’ll ever see.

Tony Gwynn, who said he did not even see the fastest pitch ever recorded  go behind him, was the guy who found himself in the batter’s box when Chapman decided to break the radar gun. Gwynn said he could tell how tough Chapman was hurling the baseball and did not glimpse for the radar gun out of dread that it would frighten him.
