Before you read this, go crumple up a paper ball and peg it at a trash can as hard you can.
Congratulations, you've probably thrown an object faster than an MLB pitcher on the mound this year.
Texas Rangers third baseman Brock Holt took the mound on Saturday and came out firing with a historical dearth of heat. His first pitch: a 31 mph strike that really has to be seen to be understood.
Holt was called in to pitch with the Rangers down 12-3 to the Oakland Athletics. In a game that had pretty much been decided, he delivered one of the most unusual scoreless innings MLB has ever seen, throwing six pitches slower than 40 mph.
