Positioned at a distance 224 feet from home plate for the relay, Winn unleashed a 101.2 mph throw, per Statcast that sailed past Cardinals second baseman José Fermín and got to catcher Willson Contreras on one hop. As it turns out, that Winn rocket proved to be the fastest recorded throw by an MLB infielder in the Statcast era (since 2015).

I've always considered the best infield arm to be Ken Caminiti R.I.P. and Elly is right with him. I hadn't even realized this until now. Probably because I'm not a Reds fan.

The thing that cracks me up is the other infielder hitting the dirt between Elly and the catcher. If that ball slips he's closed casket.

I played 3rd, center and left field (and a bit of SS). Mostly at 3rd though (high school, some low level college, and of course men’s league or town ball). My pitchers hated me at 3rd for my arm lol (and obviously I’m no big leaguer throwing upper 90’s). I did throw damn hard though, and from the hot corner I couldn’t throw it over the pitcher or it would sail over the first basemen, always need to be a frozen rope about chest/waste high… so I would always see the pitcher (in my tunnel vision) either hitting the deck or running his ass off the mound to get out of the way lol. When I got into my 30’s I finally switched over to softball. Every time I played with a new team the first game all my new team mates would just be “holy shit man, you got an arm”. They would stick me in left center and I basically shut down any extra base taking (like there is any in softball anyways). These days I’m getting close to 40, my shoulder is shredded and it’s painful to even play catch with my kid :/… ahh the good ole days though

He's my favorite ❤😊

Nobody throws side arm unless they are on the run. They usually throw from around a 3/4 slot and that doesn't have any impact on velocity.

Pro speed is awesome. Note: When it is seen that a 14 year old is throwing from 3rd to 1st on a 90' field, I have to say he is hitting 85+ mph. Maybe someone at a higher level should check this kid out. I have seen alot of athletes, and this one seems different.

Maybe if your a person who knows nothing about the history of baseball. I can’t believe I subbed this guy. Baseballs been around almost 150 years. This guy has a channel for what 2? And he has mike Schmidt’s arm strength? Or Ozzie smiths. brooks Robinson. No disrespect to elly I’m saying the game is much bigger and these people sensationalize things to get clicks. I mean the amount of infielders that came up and this one just happens to be the greatest ever, just when he needs a video to put out. That’s the truth. If he was truthful that’s what he’d say

There's a shortstop in the cardinals organization with around 100 regularly. Forget his name though.

Does anybody feel bad for the first baseman😂😂😂

Elly is an alien!!!

Be on the lookout for Masyn Winn.. be interested in comparing the two

I was at the game where he broke the assist velocity record

I would love to see him pitch

I think it’s actually mason Winn, he showed in the futures game he can throw 103 from short, as he was a former pitcher. He hasn’t had that many opportunities to throw like he did then in the big leagues, but he turns some double plays I don’t think anyone else can. At some point he will 100% brake Elly’s record.

Wasn't t aware 1st basemen wore a catchers mitt or perhaps his should-----OUCH!!!!!

An effin phenom.. Gotta give it up

Masyn Winn is right there with this dude on defense for real

Scored him and henderson drafting them before they got to the majors

Didn’t Masyn Winn just set the record for hardest infield throw at like 101 mph?

That arm should be on the mound! 💪🏿
