There's about to be a lot of attention on soccer over the next month, with the World Cup underway, but MLB is gaining some heat by bringing some serious heat.
What does the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starter sound like?
Well, we have it, and it came courtesy of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski and that cannon he calls his right arm.

The Brewers hosted the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, and in the top of the first inning, Misiorowski faced Phillies leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber.
The 2-2 pitch appeared to reach the bottom outside corner of the strike zone, and Schwarber got a piece of a check swing, which was caught and held by catcher William Contreras.
As Schwarber stepped forward and began arguing about the decision, everyone else's attention was preoccupied with the speed of the pitch.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.
In fact, the dial read 105 mph.
However, the pitch was officially 104.5 mph, which was the fastest pitch ever thrown by a starting pitcher.
However difficult it was, Schwarber most likely didn't notice that it was much faster than any other pitch in that at-bat. That's because all five pitches he faced were above 103 mph, and the third pitch of the at-bat, a called strike, also hit the 104 mark.
As impressive as that is, it's still pretty far from the hardest pitch ever thrown in MLB history.
That record still belongs to Red Sox pitcher Aroldis Chapman.

In 2010, he was in his rookie season with the Cincinnati Reds when he threw a 105.8 mph fastball.
Chapman is also second on the list, throwing a 105.7 mph fastball in 2016 while pitching for the Chicago Cubs.
