What is the Fastest Pitch Aroldis Chapman has thrown?

The hard-throwing left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman is known for his exceptional pitching velocity (he holds the record for fastest pitch in baseball history). We will bust it down to the most minute details of Aroldis Chapman fastest pitch, and how he ranks up with in all-time pitching speed world.

Guinness World Record Pitch

On the date of September 24, 2010 Aroldis Chapman set a record for fastest baseball pitch ever at 105.8 mph (as officially recorded by Major League Baseball) while playing in Cincinnati as part of its first series following return from injury during his rookie season.

Notable Competition

In 2018, Jordan Hicks broke the record for radar-verified speeds clocking fastballs at 105.1 mph and again with a 105.0 mph fastball - displaying himself in comparable velocity to that of Chapman during the MLB season. Pitchers such as Hicks and Chapman using new technology to increase their velocity, so the competition among pitchers features another chance-influenced measure of pitch speed — this one reflecting vast changes in player conditioning.

Consistency in Velocity

Chapman being Chapman was working between 98-100mph as he pops the mitt of Gary Sanchez consistently above triple digits at or around 101 mph, way more than frequently enough to suggest it's no mistake. Both innings took place during the 2010 season which goes to show, that for an entire decade now Chapman has been one of being best since he had all but two if not all the fastest pitches.

Impact of Chapman's Record

The record Aroldis Chapman pitch has changed the way we perceive pitching velocity. Chapman has touched 105 a few more times in the regular season, but the major increase shown during the entirety of 2022 (3,356 triple-digit pitches) is due to how Chapman first set that record and changed pitching velocity trends. In addition, the. 178 batting average in MLB is a historic low. Combined with what high-90s fastballs had done to the entire league, it resulted in that lowest-ever 243 during a season.

The Legacy of Fast Pitchers

Though Chapman has the ultimate Guinness World Record, legends of pitches thrown by players like Nolan Ryan and Bob Feller at unofficial speeds as high as 108.1 mph and 107.6 mph only further the mythology of fast pitching speed! The legend of these pitchers, accompanied by present-day contenders like Jordan Hicks further deepens the rich and almost mythical lore surrounding throwing gasoline from a question in baseball.
