There are fast fastballs and then there's Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ben Joyce's fastball. Joyce, who already threw the fastest pitch of the year during an outing against the Seattle Mariners in July, and then topped his own mark when he fired a 104.7 mph heater to New York Mets slugger J.D. Martinez earlier in August, lit up the radar gun once again during the Angels' 9-5 win over the Royals.
Joyce, who entered the game in a non-save situation in the bottom of the ninth inning, struck out Royals outfielder MJ Melendez and got infielder Michael Massey to ground out to second, bringing up American League MVP candidate Bobby Witt Jr.
