Aroldis Chapman is back to casually throwing 104 MPH

He’s back.

Aroldis Chapman hasn’t had the best of seasons since 2021, when he had 30 saves for the New York Yankees.

He struggled last season with a 4.46 ERA, and many assumed age finally caught up with the reliever with over 300 saves.

But at age 35, after signing as a free agent with the Kansas City Royals, he’s revived his career at least thus far in the 2023 season. He’s got a decent 3.45 ERA with one save and 25 Ks in 15.2 innings.

Oh, and his velocity, which we know has been his calling card throughout his career? It’s up. Way back up. Dude is back to throwing 104 MPH fastballs.

Wild.
