Dodgers’ Edgardo Henriquez throws fastest strikeout pitch in team history against Tigers

A 103.6 mph pitch would be a career-defining moment for nearly any pitcher.

For Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edgardo Henriquez, it is increasingly becoming routine.

Henriquez, 24, froze Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler with a 103.6 mph front-door sinker in the eighth inning that clipped the edge of the strike zone for a called third strike.

Dingler quickly challenged the call.

"Got him looking! A 104-mile-per-hour sinker," the television broadcaster announced.

The review seemed to underscore the moment.

Statcast clocked Henriquez’s sinker at 103.6 mph and 2,439 rpm.

According to MLB pitch-tracking data dating to 2008, it was the fastest strikeout pitch ever thrown by a Dodgers pitcher.

The record-setting sinker was a highlight in an otherwise difficult 2-1 loss for Los Angeles.

His 103.6 mph sinker Saturday matched a career high he first achieved during a June 2 matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Baseball Savant lists Henriquez’s average sinker at 100.8 mph this season and his four-seam fastball at an average of 100.5 mph.

While most relievers strive to reach 100 mph, the right-handed flamethrower operates at that level with regularity.

ZERO BS.
