My Take
Chapman is, to my mind, one of the most electrifying arms baseball has ever produced. The Cuban-born lefty stands 193 cm and throws fastballs that have redefined what hitters expect to survive, earning the nickname The Cuban Missile honestly. What strikes me is the longevity and demand: Reds, Yankees, Cubs, Royals, Rangers, Pirates, now the Red Sox. Teams keep chasing that velocity because raw, intimidating power never goes out of style. He is not subtle, and that is exactly the appeal. I love watching a hitter brace before the pitch even arrives. Chapman turns the pitcher's mound into pure spectacle.
