In the current age of velocity, something absurd must go down to gather our attention. 

Miami Marlins flame-throwing right-hander Edward Cabrera, who was just recently called up, has done exactly that. 

He just unleashed a 96 mph changeup. The fastest changeup in the sport’s 146-year history.

Sounds a little counterintuitive to hoist a 96-mph changeup when the objective of this pitch is usually to throw off the balance of a hitter.

But in Edward Cabrera’s defense, his fastball that routinely breaks 100 on the radar gun makes 96 darting down and into right-handers straight deadly.

Not every day that you see young pitchers mastering the craft of the changeup when most power arms of pitching coaches prioritize the slider. We aren’t bad-mouthing the slider here either because, if thrown correctly, that pitch can be impossible to pick up.
