Ben Joyce

Pitcher Ben Joyce made history in front of a raucous Angel Stadium crowd on Saturday night. Looking to preserve a 5-4 lead over the New York Mets, the fireballer sent a 104.7 mph missile toward home to end the game and secure his first career save. It was the fastest pitch in Baseball this season and the fastest strikeout pitch since pitch tracking began in 2008. "It was awesome, man," Joyce said. "It was an 0-2 pitch, so I just tried to let it eat and it ended up getting a good result."
