Hunter Greene injury update: Reds ace talks about groin tweak
Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene said he felt “fantastic” Wednesday until a groin tweak on his second warmup pitch in the fourth inning.
Former Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman threw the fastest pitch in Major League Baseball this season with a 103.8 mile-per-hour fastball during the 9th inning of the Boston Red Sox‘s 6-4 win Wednesday against the Texas Rangers.
It also was the fastest pitch by a Boston Red Sox pitcher in the pitch tracking era (since 2008).
Chapman, who turned 37 in February, did allow a homer during the inning, but recorded his fifth save of the season.
Since playing his first six MLB seasons with the Reds, Chapman has pitched for the Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates. This is his first season with the Red Sox.
He has recorded 340 career saves in the regular season, including 146 as a Red.
