Aroldis Chapman holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest pitch thrown in a major league game, with a 105.8 mile-per-hour pitch tossed for the Cincinnati Reds back in 2010.

Meanwhile, he had a record of 1-6 with an ERA of 3.67, 59 strikeouts and eight saves in 40 appearances for the Cardinals this season before the trade.
