Yankees flamethrower Aroldis Chapman ties his own record for fastest pitch ever

Published Jul. 18, 2016 10:31 p.m. ET

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman doesn't try to deceive batters when he's on the mound. Hitters know what's coming. It's just trying to hit it that's both frustrating and frightening.

Chapman's unmatched speed on the hill was on display Monday, when he tied his own record for fastest pitch in major league history -- touching 105 mph.
