Hicks brings the heat back to St. Louis
Jordan Hicks is just 21, and a relief pitcher, and everybody knew he could throw hard before he came into the Cardinals-Phillies game in the eighth inning Sunday afternoon. But maybe not how hard. Only once before had a pitcher — Aroldis Chapman — ever thrown a baseball that was clocked at 105 mph. Hicks did it twice against Odubel Herrera, in the same at-bat.
