Sports Seriously, Paste BN
Atlanta Braves rookie pitcher Spencer Strider had himself a day against the Reds on Saturday.
He struck out 11 hitters in just six innings of work and got the win to improve to 4-2 on the season.
He also hit triple digits in mph on 14 pitches, which is just ridiculous. How are MLB hitters are able to catch up with all the wild pitching that is going on these days?

One of Strider's those fastballs by Strider broke a MLB record at 102.4 mph, the fastest strike thrown by a starting pitcher since MLB started tracking velocity in 2008..
He made that look way too easy. Give Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India some credit for getting his bat on that ball. Amazing all around.
