THE TOP 10 FASTEST MOVING OBJECTS IN SPORTS – NUMBER 8: BASEBALL



Top 10 fastest moving objects in sports. Stay tuned as the countdown to number 1 continues.



The fastest pitch belongs to reliever Aroldis Chapman, who hit 105.1 miles per hour as a rookie with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010.

(In 2010 a Nolan Ryan fastball was recorded at 100.9 miles per hour. At the time, speed was measured when the ball was ten feet from the plate. If the pitch had been measured at the now-standard 50 feet from the plate, the speed extrapolates to an incredible 108.1 miles per hour).
