Miller struck out 19 of the first 24 batters he faced. (Video)
This feat may not seem that impressive you until you realize the previous record for “fastest to 19 strikeouts” was 37 batters!! Even more impressive, he doesn’t mess around with throwing balls. He just whips them over the plate and dares any batter to catch up to his heater (topping out above 103 MPH), his 96 MPH change, or his 88 MPH slider. He threw only 20 balls to those 24 batters. He has allowed only two base-runners, and has an ERA of zero.
He has so much stuff that it isn’t even fair. If you watch the video, you’ll see that he throws pitches that break to his right, or to his left, or drop off the table. Miller is considered the fastest pitcher in MLB today. He threw the fastest seven pitches in the 2025 season. His average fastball (101 MPH) is faster than the fastest pitch Nolan Ryan ever threw (100.9). His average change-up (95.5) is approximately as fast as Nolan Ryan’s average fastball.
I’m sure it would be horrible on your arm, but I’d love to see one of these fireballers throw an eephus just to see how the batter reacts.
