White Sox Mascot's Heater: 79 MPH Pitch Stuns Fans
26 Aug
Summary
- Mascot threw a baseball pitch at an impressive 79 miles per hour.
- Fans reacted with surprise, suggesting the mascot could start.
- The pitch was likened to legendary pitcher Randy Johnson.
The mascot for the Chicago White Sox has become the talk of the town, not for the team's recent game results against the Texas Rangers, but for an incredible pitching display. In a video shared by the official MLB X/Twitter account, the mascot was captured throwing a baseball at a remarkable 79 miles per hour.
This unexpected velocity from the mascot, who was wearing the full uniform and presumably without a proper warm-up, has captured the imagination of fans. Social media reactions were overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing astonishment at the speed achieved under such conditions. Some fans even humorously suggested that the mascot's pitching arm could be a valuable asset to the team's roster.
The league's social media post itself highlighted the impressive pitch, drawing a comparison to the dominant pitching style of Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. They also pointed out the mascot's natural southpaw delivery. The White Sox are scheduled to play the Rangers again on Wednesday evening, but the mascot's pitching prowess is currently overshadowing the on-field action.
