The MLB Futures Game took place on Saturday, and the game's top prospects were able to shine at Dodger Stadium. During the game, St. Louis Cardinals prospect Masyn Winn made an incredible throw at shortstop.
Winn threw the ball from shortstop to first base at an incredible 100.5 MPH!

The fastest recorded throw by an infielder in the Statcast era was 97.8 MPH by Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz earlier this week. Winn shattered this record in the Futures Game.

Masyn Winn basically told Oneil Cruz to hold my beer as he easily broke the record by almost three miles. Not surprisingly, many baseball fans took to Twitter to react to the insane throw by Winn.
Here, we'll look at some of the best reactions across the platform.
The Cardinals prospect is currently playing at Double-A Springfield, but many fans are hoping he plays in the big leagues after seeing him throw.
Some fans simply couldn't believe he was able to throw the ball that hard.
The consensus is that the Cardinals may have found their future shortstop for years to come.
