CUBAN PITCHER HITS 102 ON RADAR GUN IN GAME

According to both the Baseball de Cuba website and Cuban Ball Players blog, Holguin pitcher Aroldis Chapman registered a 102 MPH pitch during a recent Cuban National Series game with Las Tunas. The clocking is a record in Cuban ball, and a pretty good indicator as to why the lefty is off to a 4-0 start with a 1.65 ERA for Holguin. The 10-7 Perros are 2.5 games behind Villa Clara, who have finally lost games to both Santiago de Cuba and Ciego de Avila and are 14-2 for the season in the Oriental Division.
In the Occidental Division, La Habana leads with a 10-6 record, a half-game ahead of 10-7 Industriales and one game up on 11-9 Pinar del Rio.
