Masyn Winn throws 99.8 mph to first base in Cardinals' win over Giants

Masyn Winn made a remarkable 99.8 mph throw to save the St. Louis Cardinals during a close game against the San Francisco Giants on September 15, 2026. With Giants' player Christian Koss sprinting to first base, Winn's strong throw beat Koss by a narrow margin in the ninth inning. This throw is recorded as the second-fastest infield throw since the Statcast era began in 2015, just shy of the 102 mph mark held by Elly De La Cruz. Winn, who had previously set the fastest infield throw record in May 2024, had missed two weeks prior due to a fractured left thumb. His absence was felt, as managers and players acknowledged the crucial role his arm plays in preventing runs and securing defensive plays.
