29 minutes

FULL EPISODE W/ VIDEO HERE! 💯

Ben Joyce is a 22-year-old RHP out of Knoxville, TN... and he throws GAS. He made history last year registering the fastest thrown pitch in college baseball history at 105.5 MPH. His electric low-100's fastball took the sports world by storm as he cruised through opponents last year posting a 2.23 ERA for the Tennessee Volunteers in the loaded SEC. He was chosen in the 3rd Round - pick 89 overall - to the Los Angeles Angels where he's making headlines again as many anticipate he could make his big league debut THIS SEASON. It was a pleasure to link up with Ben to discuss his journey from Walters State CC to Tennessee, throwing only 65 MPH in his freshman year of High School, making baseball history last season in college, and his training routine to maintain his electric velocity. HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY! 🔥
