What was the fastest pitch by Aroldis Chapman?

her oldest Chapman reaches 105.1 mph versus Machado Pittsburgh even 15 years into his major league career the Cuban Missile can still do things no other pitcher can case in point a two-pitch sequence on Wednesday night during which her oldest Chapman recorded pitches of 105.1 and 104.7 mph the latter being a called third strike to complete a scoreless eighth inning I think with chap you just know that you never know what you're going to to se manager Derek Shelton said after the Pirates 9 to8 loss in 10 Innings to the padr San Diego managed to get two Runners on base with one out in a one-run game but the hard throwing Lefty was able to strike out Xander Bogarts and Manny Machado to preserve the Pirates lead after striking out Machado Chapman struck a pose and stared him down before going to the Pirates Dugout just something he told me Chapman explained via interpreter and Coach Steven Morales and then when he said it I started laughing something like something Chapman said with a grin fair enough let the pitch do the talking no pitcher besides Chapman has thrown a pitch 105.1 mil hour or harder in the pitch tracking era since 2008 and Chapman himself hasn't thrown a harder pitch since July 22nd 2016 when he threw 105.2 mph against the Giants the 104.7 mph third strike to Machado is tied with Ben Joyce who also hit 104.7 mph to retire JD Martinez on August 3rd for the hardest strikeout pitch in the pitch tracking era it's another example of why Chapman belongs in the discussion of the game's best Lefty relievers he passed Billy Wagner for the most strikeouts for a southpaw reliever earlier this season and how he can still wow this deep into his career he's been clicking of late with that velocity and better control coming in tandem since the all star break Chapman has allowed just one run over eight Innings striking out 13
