Shohei Ohtani, after a five-inning, seven-strikeout start, led his Angels to their 6-1 victory over the Houston Astros last night. Incredibly, in the third inning, Ohtani fanned Astros batter Kyle Tucker with the fastest pitch of his professional career. The headline-generating fastball was clocked in at a jaw-dropping 101.4 miles per hour, also making it the fastest strikeout pitch hurled by an Angels player in the pitch-tracking era.
