Description
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove just set a world record for the fastest pitch ever thrown on the remote continent of Antarctica, clocking in at 86 mph. The trip was organized in an effort to raise awareness for Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF).
Musgrove invited Landis Sims, a 16-year-old varsity baseball player who was born without hands and feet, to embark on his journey to set a world record pitch in Antarctica and support athletes with physical challenges.
“I’m constantly inspired by Landis Sims and the athletes from Challenged Athletes Foundation who overcome their challenges every day to achieve their goals,” said Joe Musgrove. “Antarctica is one of the most remote and extreme destinations in the world. I can’t think of a better place to showcase pushing the limits of what’s possible.”
