Hicks hits 105.5 mph fastball!?

In last nights game the Yankees left fielder Aaron Hicks made the fastest throw ever in baseball history from the outfield. Hitting a speed of 105.5 mph Hicks made a throw from left field to home in the matter of seconds, throwing out Danny Valencia. However that's not his first time making, "superhuman," plays.

One question I may have is, why he is not a pitcher for the Yankees. The Yankee rotation needs a lot of help including the offense. Hicks has brought something very special to the Bronx. His speed is unbelievable and his overall performance on the field is incredible. Don't be surprised if they switch Hicks to a pitcher one day. 

Sabathia gets the start in tonight's match-up, looking to put New York back in the win column, against Moore and the Tampa Bay Rays. Game time is at 7:05 p.m. in the Bronx.
