San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove is aiming to help steer the organization to the playoffs for just the second time in the past 16 seasons, but he’ll have another goal to accomplish as soon as the 2022 MLB season comes to an end. 

Musgrove will look to set the world record for the fastest baseball thrown on the continent of Antarctica.

The 2022 National League All-Star will be heading to the frigid continent in November for his 30th birthday in order to raise money and awareness for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF).

"It’s going to be chilly. It’s going to be chilly, but we've got jackets," Musgrove told NBC San Diego. "We’ll figure it out. I’m sure once you’re out there and you’re experiencing the beauty of that place, you’re not going to be thinking much about the weather. It’ll be cold, but we'll bundle up and we’ll get some coffee with us." 

The mission of CAF is to "provide opportunities and support to people with physical challenges, so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics."
