Title: Aroldis Chapman Figure Things Out?
Post by: Twentytwofifty on April 16, 2012, 05:00:16 PM
A short small size of 8 innings but VERY encouraging start.

Since keeping his walks under control was his biggest problem this is a pretty good sign.  A monster is in the making?

He's not starting.  Those eight innings came in five appearances. Which might even look better, it's just not one good day where he's commanding his pitches, it's five. 
Looks like his average fastball is 97.1 mph

Yeah. I just thought the way he posted those stats that he started the other day or something. Still impressive.
