Aroldis Chapman hits 104 mph on the gun while striking out the side

Aroldis Chapman hits 104 mph on the gun while striking out the side

Aroldis Chapman throws baseballs professionally for the Reds. On Monday, he took the mound in a 1-1 tie while the Reds hosted the Diamondbacks in a dramatic game that eventually went 15 innings. Though the Reds dropped the game 2-1, Chapman did his part, striking out all three batters he faced.

Oh, and he hit 104 mph on the gun while doing so. That's not a typo, Aroldis Chapman actually threw a baseball 104 mph.
