Jordan Hicks made throwing 105 MPH in spring training look so casual

We’ve seen this before from St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jordan Hicks.

He’s thrown pitches 105 MPH before, and then he’s tossed some triple-digit pitches with absurd movement, like a 102 MPH scorcher that tailed away from a hitter.

That last one came in spring training, and so did one this past weekend.

Hicks reared back in a game against the Mets and threw a strike clocked at 105 MPH. It looked so casual! Someone should tell him it’s the preseason, but I guess he wouldn’t listen.

Fans, rightfully, were in awe:

Jordan Hicks is throwing absolute fire this spring 🔥

He is averaging 100.5 mph on his sinker, easily the highest amongst pitchers with at least 20 tracked sinkers thrown https://t.co/tImDwtM9Fv pic.twitter.com/LQRT6lkiAh
