This will likely be your last achievement for your completion since it's heavely RNG and must be done under a certain scenario since a +110mph catch it's pretty uncommon. I will try to describe the method I used as clear as possible. This could take hours potentially, anyways Series X version it's pretty fast for restarting the match.
I did three 110mph catches and the achievement didn't unlock, after a 114mph catch popped perfectly
Setup:
1. Go to "Create" on main menu located on the top right corner of the screen (left icon next to options). Here you want to edit an MLB team (it doesn't matter which one, I used San Francisco Giants)
Set starting Pitcher with Max Velocity under his 4 Seam FB
Set his attributes maxed out for Stamina, Clutch, Velocity and Control
Also Max out the Pitcher and Baseman players attributes for max Speed, Reaction, and Fielding Ability.
Save the roster.
2. On main menu, go to sliders, here use this setup.
Maxed Sliders:
Human Pitcher Control
Human Pitcher Consistency
CPU Contact
CPU Power
CPU TIming
CPU Foul Frequency
CPU Solid Hits
Minimum Sliders:
Fielding Errors Infield
Fielding Errors Outfield
Wind
Set the pitching difficulty to Legend on settings.
3. Go to Exhibition, set a match with your team as home (right side on screen) vs NL All Star as visitor.
You will always start as Pitcher, aim to the bottom middle box in the grid with a Fast Ball. The ideal scenario it's that the AI hit the ball directly to your left (3rd base) or right (1st base) defense to get the achievement as soon as your baseman catches the ball, like I said a +110 mph it's rare. most of shots will be around 100 and 109mph and they will end on hits or home runs so you will likely reset the match a ton.
Another method described by MrPrather seems to be more consistent if you are having problems on Exhibition.
Step 1. Increase all of these max to right:
(CPU: Contact, Power, Timing, Solid Hits) (Fielder: Run Speed, Reaction, Arm Strength
Infield, Arm Strength Outfield) (Human Pitcher Control, Pitcher Consistency)
Step 2. Decrease all of these max to left:
(Fielding Errors: Outfield & Infield) (Throwing Errors Infield & Outfield)
Step 3. Change pitching difficulty to Legend
Step 4. Start Retro Mode (Boomers vs Boomers) (Coors Field aka Rockies)
Step 5. Press Start, go to "Manager" on the far left. Click Defensive Position, Change Shift Duration to "Always" Make sure "All Outfield is selected" and then change depth from "Deep" to "Shallow" (This was a big one for me that helped)
Step 6. Hold the Down button on the dpad and press A while pitching for fast ball
Rinse and repeat, If you get three outs press start and quick manage then press "Y" to simulate half an inning. This took me until about the 4th inning

To add to others posts and to make it simple step 5 really made this much easier. All luck based, but with enough try you will get it!!!

Like the last few commenters, I'm getting smashed 35-5 in retro with the only line drive fly balls being caught by outfielders. I've played 9 games like this on hall of fame with the sliders. I'll keep playing around and hopefully get this one soon.
Update:
Retro mode - Boomers vs. Boomers - Coors Field - Fastballs down the middle - Quick manage fast forward past batting - Hall of Fame Pitching Difficulty
Sliders:
Human Pitcher sliders all the way to the right (Keep your strong arm)
CPU Timing all the way to the right
CPU Solid Hits all the way to the right
Fielding errors infield all the way to the left
Fielder run speed all the way to the right
Fielder reactive all the way to the right
With this method, I saw a lot more line drives going through the holes and not over the entire infield. That's why I didn't mess with cpu contact or power because they just smash homers. Got this in about 5 minutes with these settings but I spent about 3 hours playing around with different methods. Thank you to all the above commenters and good luck!

This can be done in Retro mode. For this one you want the pitching difficulty to be on LEGEND (which is the hardest difficulty). Select both teams as the Boomers. When you are pitching you'll want to press and hold down on the 
when you pitch. The CPU will hit almost every pitch. You'll want one of your infielders to catch a ball and hope it is over 110 MPH. He should catch the ball automaticlly. This is somewhat random and took me 3 games before I got it. Once your infielder catches the ball and it recorded 100MPH the achievement will unlock.
