Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman is already among the hardest-throwing pitchers in baseball, having been clocked at 105 mph.
But if it’s humanly possible for Chapman to throw even harder, he’s going to give it a shot. That’s apparent from the muscle the Yankees closer put on this offseason.
Though Chapman showed up to Yankees spring training camp with the added muscle, he’s spent the past few weeks at home working out as the MLB season has been put on hold amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
And on Saturday, Chapman gave fans a glimpse of his added muscle in an Instagram photo. Seriously, the dude looks like a linebacker here.
Can he hit 110 mph this year? It wouldn’t surprise me.
I guess pitchers do lift after all.
