Video: Pitcher Fires Fastest Pitch Ever Recorded

It wouldn't be a surprise if the radar gun blew up after a blazing pitch today from right-handed reliever Ben Joyce of the Tennessee Vols registered 105.5 mph!

105.5 MPH!!! The hardest pitch in College Baseball history.

Also breaks the Guinness World Record for fastest pitch ever which was set by Aroldis Chapman at 105.1mph

As noted by baseball insider Ben Verlander (and brother of a legendary pitcher in his own right), Joyce broke not only the college baseball record with the nasty fastball, but also the Guinness World Record for fastest pitch ever recorded, previously held by New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (105.1 mph).

#Vols coach Tony Vitello on Ben Joyce: He’s out there making me look like a dummy (for easing him in this season), but we’ve said all year that we wanted to be playing our best baseball in May and June. That’s the plan.

Joyce's manager said afterwards, "He’s out there making me look like a dummy (for easing him in this season)", while his teammate, Jordan Beck, who homered in the game, said "I feel sorry for anyone that has to go against him."

The Vols are now 40-4, and Joyce, naturally, said he's feeling "great", and "ready to keep going."
