Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove sets world record fastball for charity

• He raised $100,000 in September for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, an organization he's supported for years that helps people with physical challenges pursue active lifestyles.

Musgrove brought three guests: 16-year-old varsity baseball player Landis Sims, who was born without arms or lower legs, and Paralympians Roderick Sewell and Justin Phongsavanh.

• After finally securing the permits to attempt the record, they arrived via boat and found a spot flat enough to throw, making a mound from Antarctic gravel.
• Sims threw a couple of pitches, too, hitting 44 mph after Musgrove's record-setting toss.

What they're saying: "This trip exceeded every expectation I had," Musgrove told MLB.com. "I'm just very, very grateful that I was given the opportunity ... to make a little bit of an impact."
