Padres Reliever Mason Miller Showcases Elite Velocity Despite Yielding Historic Home Run

San Diego Padres reliever Mason Miller, recently acquired from the Oakland Athletics, showcased elite velocity during his outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks, routinely throwing over 100 mph and reaching 104.2 mph. While he surrendered a historic two-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. off a 103.9 mph fastball, it was the fastest pitch to be hit for a homer since MLB tracking began. In his second appearance for San Diego, Miller pitched one inning, allowing one hit and one walk, with two strikeouts.
