Tennessee pitcher Ben Joyce threw the fastest pitch in college baseball history and the second-fastest pitch ever recorded in the Volunteers’ 5-3 win over Knoxville Saturday.

Joyce threw the 105.5 mile-per-hour fastball in the eighth inning, the hardest-thrown pitch ever recorded in college baseball and the second-hardest recorded in baseball history, behind only Aroldis Chapman’s 105.8 mph fastball in the major leagues in 2010.
