Im not a baseball fan myself but ive never even heard of a bowler in cricket that can throw a ball this fast.,
This fella can throw a baseball at 168 mph ! AND AT PINPOINT ACCURCY TOO ,This is 65 mph faster than the previous record.
In the states he is the new star player for the "Mets"
Sidd Finch.
has mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa."

yep,this guy is a new baseball wonderland discovery,Mets fans in the USA cant believe there luck and have been celebrating,
after all to throw 65mph faster than the world record is truly amazing and this guy is a one off...
if it was football it would be like discovering a player 5 x better than David Beckham.

Tibet was nothing for him, no snow shoes required. In fact he probably went to the beach one day and floated over!
