Chapman Returns!

It was a great night last night for the bullpen as Aroldis Chapman returned from his 30 game suspension. You should have been there to watch because most people like to pay attention to how fast he throws.

Chapman topped out at 102 mph to claim his first save of the season as New York won 10 - 7 against the Royals. The last batter Chapman faced was Lorenzo Cain which was a pretty big threat that night, launching three homers against other Yankee pitchers. Chapman managed to get Cain to pop-out on a 101 mph heater.

I feel like the Yankees will have a big turn around now that he is back. He is a very important key in closing out games which the Yankees tend to struggle with at times. He looked very sharp in his return, almost as if he never even left. He is very very powerful, he was definitely a great decision for New York on picking him up.

Chapman had one spectacular night, and I believe there will be more where that came from. The Yankees will play the Kansas City Royals again tonight. Game time will be at 7:05 p.m. Pineda will take on Ventura trying to get back on track. If Chapman comes in to close again, you better hope for him to put on another show.
