Picked up his first MLB win on Wednesday night against the Cubs, working a scoreless sixth inning in which he threw 27 pitches. Twenty of them were 100 mph or faster. One was 102.8 mph and another was 103.0.
He did walk 3 in the one inning of work.

Joyce has thrown 73 fastballs this season and 68 of them have been at least 100 mph. He’s thrown 80 total pitches this season and 85% of them have been clocked at triple digits. His slowest fastball of the season was a mere 99.2 mph.

He is also among MLB’s most consistent with the fastball this season. Only 2 pitchers have thrown 101 mph on the radar gun more often. He has 57 so far this season (71.3% of his total pitches), while the Twins’ Jhoan Durán has 108 (30.7% of all his pitches) and the Cardinals’ Jordan Hicks has 153 (32.8% of all his pitches).

Sounds like Ben Chapman (was that the Red's RP for several yrs?) I may have the name wrong.
