Freddy Peralta threw the second fastest pitch of his career against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta has had a knack the past few years of being able to reach back and throw gas when needed. He otherwise has a fastball in the low to mid 90s, that has a lot of spin on it, and is perceived as faster to hitters. Against the Cardinals he had a reach back and throw gas moment as he threw a baseball 98.9 MPH. Per PitchingNinja this is the second fastest pitch of his career.
