Mason Miller lights up All-Star Game, K's Ohtani AND throws 103.6 mph

2:56 AM UTC

ARLINGTON -- lived up to the hype, as he produced the hardest thrown pitch in All-Star Game history (since pitch-tracking began in 2008) while earning the victory in his Midsummer Classic debut on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field as the AL beat the NL, 5-3.

Miller set an ASG record with the 103.6 mph heater he unleashed while facing Trea Turner. The pitch, which missed low, was one of eight triple-digit fastballs the A’s flamethrower threw during a perfect 12-pitch inning. He concluded his dominant appearance with consecutive strikeouts of Shohei Ohtani and Turner.

Aroldis Chapman had previously held the record with a 103.4 mph fastball the left-hander threw to Mike Moustakas in the ninth inning of the 2015 All-Star Game. Chapman has tallied four pitches 103 mph or faster in the Midsummer Classic. On Tuesday, Miller hit this mark twice, matching Ryan Helsley’s total from the 2022 All-Star Game. No other All-Star has thrown a pitch this hard since pitches were tracked beginning in 2008.

Miller’s fastballs registered: 103.6, 103, 102.4, 102.3, 101.9, 101.8, 101 and 100.6 mph.

Miller, 25, has posted a 2.27 ERA while striking out 46.7 percent of the batters he has faced this year. His four-seam fastball has averaged an MLB-best 100.9 mph. The Twins’ Jhoan Duran (100.4 mph) and the D-backs' Justin Martinez (100.1 mph) are the only other pitchers (min. 300 pitches) who have a triple-digit fastball average.
