Aroldis Chapman throwing heat in a bullpen session

  1. Will be an interesting HOF case.

    One of the best relievers ever. You can’t tell the history of baseball without talking about Chapman.

    DV stuff is hard to ignore. But no PEDs which it seems voters care much more about.

  2. Chapman’s body was designed in a laboratory to be the perfect pitching specimen. Dude is an absolute monster.

  3. Chapman as a player needs to be studied once he retires. It is not normal that he has been able to stay as healthy as he has while throwing the way he does.

    He genuinely might be a key guy in figuring out pitching health.

  4. I used to catch in high school. I consistently caught 80mph fastballs. It fucking hurts sometimes. You catch a little too much palm here and there. Obviously you toughen up and you get better at finding the glove pocket, but you’re never perfect.

    I literally cannot imagine being Aroldis fucking Chapman’s personal bullpen catcher.

  5. Pitcher’s jerseys should have their throwing arm sleeveless so we can see their freaky muscles whip the ball 98 mph

  6. I was randomly at the Reds game when he first came up. The stadium was dead and then they saw 103 light up the pitch speed and everyone went crazy.

  7. Amazing he can maintain the flexibility needed to not only pitch but be durable especially at this age

  8. I feel like this would be me if I got hit by one of those.

  9. If anyone ever tells you big biceps makes it so you can’t throw hard, show them this video.

  10. Imagine how hard he could throw if he just worked out some and put a little muscle on..
