On Opening Day, Nationals No. 3 prospect Jarlin Susana made history
Susana threw the fastest pitch recorded in AFL history (since at least 2015) at 103.8 mph on Saturday. In fact, Susana had each of the nine fastest recorded pitches ever and 17 of the fastest 20. Amongst 36 fastballs, 34 eclipsed 100.0 mph, averaging 101.7 mph. He struck out four, retiring 9 of the final 10 batters he faced.
17 Nats on this list. Huge shout out to our players and staff for the work they put in this season. ⛽️🔥

Every long day, every bus ride, every comeback, every challenge and every moment led to this.
Sometimes you don’t need words. The hugs say it all.
