Aroldis Chapman brings more to the mound than a blazing 100+ mph four-seam fastball. While Chapman's heater provides the foundation for his dominance closing out games, he features a three pitch repertoire that he deploys according to the count and whether he is facing a left-handed or right-handed batter.
The pitches: fastball, changeup, slider
Chapman employs a four-seam fastball, a changeup, and a slider to challenge opposing batters. According to Brooks Baseball, in 2015 Chapman threw his four-seamer just over three quarters of the time (76%), at an average velocity of 100.4 mph, with slight tailing action away from right-handed batters.
