Part 3/7:
One of his earliest recorded great throws went at a still-respectable speed of 95.6 miles per hour against the Washington Nationals, which many would still consider extremely fast, despite being labeled as the "slowest" highlight in his repertoire. Following that, he demonstrated his prowess against the San Francisco Giants, delivering an awe-inspiring throw at 95.7 miles per hour that left spectators amazed.
However, he rapidly escalated his performances. Against the Milwaukee Brewers, he threw at an astonishing speed of 97.9 miles per hour, setting a record for the fastest thrown ball in the history of MLB as measured by Statcast at that time.
