Yankees Duren Rivals Batters With Speed and Caution
New York reliever Ryne Duren, possibly the fastest pitcher in baseball, reassures AL hitters he will never intentionally hit them. He leads with 40 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings, has allowed just four runs, and recalls a night game where hitters barely saw his fastball. Umpire warnings and Will Harridge’s edict are noted as Duren aims to avoid clashes while using high and inside pitches when needed.
