The 106.9 mph throw by Elly De La Cruz was a glitch in the system. MLB could not validate the number because of what it considered bad data; in other words, a system issue tracking the throw. The actual throw was estimated to be somewhere between 102 and 103 mph.

First one was a laser. One of the best feelings as an outfielder is throwing out a runner. Especially at home.
In college i topped out at 91 but could hit 96 with a crow hop. Imagine the hardest throwing pitchers with a crow hop.
He had nuthin on Kenny Power’s heater in his prime. You’re fckin out!
He's way better than Kenny power
Aaron hocks is actually good at something
At least spell his name right
The Yankees were his problem, he’s doing great for us
Hicks just got DFAby the Angels

110 mph probably

Depends on what weight ball. If standard probably comfortably 110+, if we are talking the 3oz balls they use in training, 120+ easily

Catch two steps then boom. Great footwork by hicks.
so if aroldis chapman can do 105 on the mound. i wonder what his pull down velocity would be
Theoretically a pull-down is about 5 mph faster than your pitching velo

I heard Raberto Clemente had a great arm. No one took extra bases on him. He showed it in an all-star game.
I went to the reds vs Yankees and sat left field wall, I couldn't believe how fast the outfielders chuck it in, looked like it was shot out a cannon
Just casually backhand picks a 105 with a catchers mitt wtf 😂😂
such a good defensive player. not good offensively but
I want to see Elly de la Cruz get a crow hop
Well De La Cruz just broke it
Absolute missile
Bo Jackson
Ronald Acuna has the fastest throw outfield wall almost to home without touching the ground.

Blocking the plate. Runner was safe.
The runner dives head first he’s safe
Just got broke this weekend!
Elly beat that
The video ends with 13th best…. N’wah who the hell are the first 12?
Does this actually bring doubt to statcast (no offense Hicks)
Yes it does thay throw wasnt shit.
Faster than pitchers? Yes.
@@JamesDuckettAuthoryou realize crow hop adds significant velo, right? this is not surprising
I guess now we know why Cashman wanted him so much.
Hicks broke his wrist after that throw
Can people STOP claiming the statcast era is all of baseball history?????
Saying that the runner was running 20 mph
But seriously...Roberto Clemente had the best arm I've ever seen. Best spin rate ...low angle rifle arm. I could only guess at mph though.
seeeed
What about Nolan Ryan's 108 mph pitch !!!
the m in mph stands for muffins
vlad guerero
I've seen Bo Jackson throw to first base from left field that looked faster than this throw

Un láser
Acuna threw 105.8
Sorry but LOTS of players with good arms can CROW HOP a ball 106…. Not impressed. Pitchers hit 105 without the crow hop
Didn't Judge break this?
20.4 mph is slow footed ?!
Just threw a 112 mph ball was shocked and had to look up and see what fastest throw was....guess its me now bishes
