Stephen Strasburg - Fastest Pictcher Ever

When you throw a baseball down the gut of the strike zone the batter's eyes will narrow with concentration, his muscles will tense... he will anticipate hitting that ball. It is, after all, how batters move up the ranks. In fact it's how baseball works. No matter how good your are at any other aspect of baseball, the best short stop of all time even, if you can't hit the ball you're of no use. And you rise up the ranks will stop at some point.

Now imagine a baseball rocket up the gut of the strike zone and hit the catcher's mitt before you realize it has passed you. Imagine realizing that you just have to swing and hope your reflexes do the job your mind once did. That is scary. But that's just what 103 miles per hour looks like when it is thrown by Stephen Strasburg.

Baseball is going to experience the only player who has ever thrown multiple 103 mph pitches.

Get ready world...
