The Reds are not having a good season. The team has a lot of holes, many of them caused by injury. But the Reds do have some elite players. Joey Votto is a superstar. Todd Frazier is having an MVP type of season. Johnny Cueto has been a Cy Young caliber pitcher for several years now. The Reds have the best closer in baseball. Aroldis Chapman does more than light up the radar gun.
This is Chapman’s 4th year as the Reds’ closer. He took over the role from Sean Marshall in May of 2012. Including the one he snared in 2011, Chapman has accrued 128 career Saves.
