Aroldis Chapman threw a scorching, unfair 103.4 MPH fastball vs. Dodgers

As we said a couple of months ago when Aroldis Chapman was throwing heat again: The reliever is back.

The flame-thrower was casually tossing 104 MPH pitches for the Kansas City Royals before he was dealt to the contending Texas Rangers in June. And on Sunday, he threw an absurd 103.4 MPH two-seam fastball that darted out of the zone and got Yonny Hernandez swinging in a key moment.

That pitch is so unfair. How do you deal with that? I’m not a Major Leaguer! I have no idea!

In seven games with Texas, he hasn’t allowed an earned run and has 12 strikeouts.
