Just How Fast Is It?

If you have ever seen Billy Wagner pitch you can see just how fast his fastball is. At times the radar gun clocked him at 102 Miles Per Hour. That is crazy. I fear driving that fast. "There's something wrong with that guy." This is exactly what most guys, including Victor Diaz, think when Wagner aims and fires at them. Yesterday during a drill, Victor Diaz played the part of a runner trapped off third base on a ball hit back to the pitcher. Billy Wagner fielded the ball and, with all his might, faked a throw right at Diaz who froze fearing that Wagner was actually going to throw the ball at him. Diaz walked off the field and muttered those exact words.
