Chas McCormick of the Houston Astros was hit by a 104-MPH pitch from Aroldis Chapman of the New York Yankees. This is the second highest velocity on a hit-by-pitch (HBP) in the pitch tracking era since 2008. The highest velocity was a 104.3 MPH pitch by Jordan Hicks in 2018. McCormick hit a big homerun earlier in the week. Two days after being hit, McCormick had a bruise.

The Chas McCormick HBP last night reminded me of my most painful HBP. 101mph to the ribs and my left shoulder popped out as I threw my arms up. Pain. https://t.co/map4o4hsbK
Chapman reached back for extra on the 103.7 HBP in a blowout & didn’t get a warning by the umpires. Smoltz has a comment on every swing and miss by a hitter but goes lip numb for both HBP’s last night. Still annoys me this morning.
Getting hit by a 104-MPH pitch from Aroldis Chapman does not look like fun https://t.co/ZVeBYMaSGu
This was 103.7 mph 🥴 That’s the second-hardest HBP of the Statcast era. Jordan Hicks has the hardest at 104.3 mph (sorry for the reminder A.J. Pollock) https://t.co/oMIzlCH3Fe
Chas McCormick just got hit by a 103.7 MPH Aroldis Chapman fastball. That's the 2nd highest velocity on a HBP in the pitch tracking era (since 2008), trailing only this Jordan Hicks 104.3 MPH plunking of AJ Pollock from 2018. https://t.co/x1EkFcC0k1
