THE FASTEST MOVING OBJECTS IN SPORTS – NUMBER 3 – JAI ALAI



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



Jai Alai (aka pelota) is known as the most lethal ball in sports. It is three-quarters the size of a baseball and harder than a golf ball. The best in the sport can toss the pelota at speeds greater than 188 miles per hour.

At the Speed Challenge Contest semifinals at Dania Jai Alai on November 24, 2017, Ibon Aldazabal broke the old record of 188 miles per hour with a throw of 190 miles per hour.


Longish video. I have it set up to start at 2:00. Aldazabal's record breaking toss comes at about 3:40. Slow motion replay at end.
