Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz showcased his remarkable arm strength, delivering a throw clocked at 105.2 mph to assist in tagging out Seattle's J.P. Crawford at the plate during a recent game. This impressive feat marks the second-fastest recorded throw resulting in an outfield assist since the inception of Statcast in 2015, just shy of Aaron Hicks' record of 105.5 mph. Cruz's throw was pivotal during the first inning following a well-placed single from Jorge Polanco.

Using his towering 6-foot-7 frame, Cruz executed a precise one-hop throw to catcher Henry Davis, who successfully applied the tag. This performance adds to Cruz's growing reputation as a Statcast sensation, having previously recorded the hardest-hit ball since tracking began with a 122.9 mph home run.
