Edgardo Henriquez threw the fastest strikeout pitch in Dodgers history on Saturday against Detroit, firing a 103.6 mph sinker to strike out Tigers batter Dillon Dingler in the bottom of the eighth inning, per Staff at DodgerBlue.com. The right-hander entered the game with the score tied at one apiece and made an immediate impact despite the Dodgers ultimately falling short in the matchup.

Henriquez’s velocity has been a calling card throughout his time in the organization. The 103.6 mph mark represents a legitimate milestone for the franchise—a testament to his raw stuff and the kind of arm talent that could anchor a bullpen for years. For a pitcher still developing his command and consistency at the MLB level, a moment like this offers real validation that his stuff plays at the highest level.

We’re still working to stabilize the bullpen down the stretch, and when a guy reaches back for that kind of velo, it matters. Whether Henriquez can turn these flashes into regular high-leverage work is the next question.
