Imagine being able to routinely hit triple-digits on the radar gun. Now, imagine those fireballs you threw can veer nearly three feet before they hit the catcher¡¯s mitt.

Then, imagine you¡¯re the batter trying to hit all that.

The Dodgers have an embarrassment of riches in their bullpen, but Brusdar Graterol still manages to amaze. The right-hander climbed the mound for the sixth inning of Tuesday¡¯s 7-2 Dodgers victory over the Giants in NLDS Game 4, and started the frame with a 102.5 mph sinker to San Francisco star Buster Posey for a called strike.

We¡¯ve seen Graterol throw extremely hard before, but 102.5 mph set a new standard as his fastest-tracked pitch in the big leagues according to Statcast. It also tied former Dodger Jonathan Broxton for Los Angeles¡¯ third-fastest tracked pitch on record since the start of pitch tracking in 2008, with only a pair of 103.3 mph and 102.8 mph fastballs thrown by Broxton on July 3, 2009, topping Graterol on that list.

Graterol immediately followed that opening salvo with a 102 mph sinker to Posey, who eventually grounded out against a mere 101.5 mph offering. But Graterol wasn¡¯t quite done making statements; his first pitch to Evan Longoria also clocked in at 102.5 mph -- and this sinker featured 19.2 inches of horizontal break and 18 inches of vertical break, per Statcast, to freeze Longoria for strike one.

Graterol wasn¡¯t perfect, working around a Kris Bryant single off a 102 mph pitch, but he emerged from the sixth inning with a clean bill as he preserved the Dodgers' lead. But his appearance was more than the scoreless frame on the box score: one of baseball¡¯s hardest throwers set a new radar-gun target for himself moving forward.
