Aroldis Chapman goes viral for ridiculous pitch

Aroldis Chapman looked to be going through a serious regression last year, but he is proving this year that he can be nasty when he wants to be.

Chapman was traded by the Kansas City Royals to the Texas Rangers on June 30. He has been lights out since the trade.

Chapman has made seven appearances with the Rangers. He has allowed just three hits, no walks and struck out 12, giving Texas exactly what they wanted.

Chapman pitched a scoreless eighth in Sunday’s 8-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed a double to Chris Taylor, but he struck out the next two batters to strand the runner.

The southpaw struck out pinch hitter Yonny Hernandez on three straight pitches. The strikeout pitch was a nasty 103.4 mph two-seam fastball. Not only was the pitch thrown extremely hard, but it also had an incredible amount of run to it.
