Aroldis Chapman hits 101 mph in pro debut

[BuddySkateRazors]

I love how people come on videos of people who pitch really good/fast and just comment "Tommy John" or something stupid like that, Chapman actually has a strong arm and a good form, I'm guessing he will be one of the next biggest names, but "pitchers" like Strasberg who basically just throw it as hard as they can with no form and expect to go pro are the type of people who will hurt them selves and then will basically be no good. The way our pitching coach taught the pitchers was to compare the

Just thought everyone would like to know deadknightwarrior101 no longer has an account : )

[tbarker1989]

im from america and i admit we dont have the most talented baseball players in the world. we have some really good ones which every country does but i will have to give cubans the trophy lol. but you give us americans a basketball and we will win every time :p

[mdbell04]

@deadknightwarrior101 full blooded shawnee huh.. hmmm well if he your "great great great great great grandfather." Then I think you would at least be able to spell his name right.. his name is Tecumseh. They don't really have a good education system where you are do they? Keep earning minimum wage.

[osoriapudge]

@deadknightwarrior101 Go tell Ichiro, The Molina Family, and the other people that make the MLB great "To get out of here". I'm being sarcastic of course, foreigners are the reasons why people LIKE seeing baseball games.

[jhiller21]

Jesus the glove pop is louder than when the batters actually make contact

[Mrssl200]

@deadknightwarrior101 listen men without those reefs mlb will be shit, look at the mvps and the all stars, and to save you words i am from cuba, i came when i was 4, so shut to fuck up and if you dont like them dont watch.

[tonyjh34]

@deadknightwarrior101 go drink some more of that HATERade

[yagirobie]

@deadknightwarrior101 Hater.........

[drunkpilot83]

@deadknightwarrior101 Don't hate the player...Hate the game...

[BettorOffSingle]

Poor Nolan Ryan.

Now it's the Ryan L(OCAL.

[cphunk]

Throws really hard, but seems to be all over the place.

[myshieldmysword]

If he can sharpen his mechanics he can be a solid pitcher with that arm

[elchany71]

@deadknightwarrior101 FUCK YOU

[LazeFlow]

damn last night he got 105.. that was insane!

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@LazeFlow hopefully he wont be like joel zumaya

[PancakesoftheLove]

@LazeFlow And now he got 106. Incredible.

[drewwesolowski]

@deadknightwarrior101..more than 60 percent of major league baseballs players come from a foreign country. you have no idea what your talking about. 105 is 105 and he is consistent go look at his stats hes not wild at all. your probably some old stubborn guy who got cut from your jv baseball team and your just trying to live the dream. give it up bro and show some respect. the guy grew up with nothing and now hes making millions. your not half the man this kid is

[sup3rm4nismyh3r0]

Damn he has a strong arm



[Autoramen]

@deadknightwarrior101 Actually... Going against your innuendos of reality, Chapman has been dominating in the Majors throwing his Randy Johnson esque slider, which is definately a plus outpitch, off of his fastball. In regards to your delusions about a foreign invasion, I must ask good sir. Have you been watching Fox News lately and pledged an oath to denizens within the hastily organized flippant proponents of ignorance who endorse the formation of a mobocracy known as the teaparty express?

[hlskklls]

@Autoramen That's about right.

[chizzledich]

@deadknightwarrior101 dont talk man, your not half the man this kid is

[DarvinMelendez]

wao ese tipo si la tira duro la recta

[izisvi]

He looks like he's all over the place. 101 mph is great, but if it's right down the middle it just means it goes farther over the fence. Get this kid some accuracy and he'll dominate.

[dufortrph]

@deadknightwarrior101 Foreign invasion? Dude, now I KNOW you're kidding. Aroldis Chapman is leading a foreign invasion by pitching for a small-to-mid-market MLB team. You are so delusional, actually I think you're practically bordering on criminally insane. Pro sports teams have had foreign-born players for quite some time now. You're just now hearing about this?

Also, if Chapman is the 25th Cuban playing for the Reds, please name the other 24.

[dufortrph]

@deadknightwarrior101 Who's your team, man? I'm sure there are *no* foreign-born players on the roster. Fucking Chapman, man. What an assole he is for being born in Cuba. How DARE he?

[rogdag]

viva Cuba 

[rogdag]

quiero ver a los yankees con Aroly Shapman ja ja ja

[mow1717]

cuba is communist.even russia isn't communist .this guy has skills that are worth money on the free market. i hope he cashes in.when castro dies it will be a better world.

[latinmoz]

Baseball sees no color and race...thats what makes it so beautiful! Americas favorite past time right? =)

[latinmoz]

besides, its the least the US can do...since it practically stole Cuba from Spain in 1898, made them sign the Platt Amendment which ONLY allows the US to be their father figure, install a corrupt regime in Bautista, and allows the Cuban Embargo to cripple the Cuban economy for the last 48 years!!!

[latinmoz]

oh wow...i trip on people like deadknightwarrior!!! Obviously his ignorance has impeded him to even know why Cubans are good at baseball...He can't do it in Cuba cause the Castro regime will only take advantage of his skills...Why not defect to America...this is the land of prestige right?

[Stratocaster821990]

@deadknightwarrior101 I hope you realize he defected from Cuba.

[59Jsparks]

@deadknightwarrior I know it's tough in the trailor parks but don't be hating just cuz the man is makink 7 figures a year and he is only 22! This isn't 1930 we treat everyone fairly now jackass. Wow people amaze me!

[kariosar]

@deadknightwarrior101 Not even gonna comment on your social commentary.

But HOW can you not be impressed by that slider he threw, I have never seen a slider that fast break that much.

[dufortrph]

@deadknightwarrior101 You're kidding, right? Seriously, that was a joke, wasn't it?

[mnj1287]

if had thrown a change-up at the end of that first atbat he would have gotten the strikeout

[joespeed87]

Hi,St.Louis fans:the cuban missile is coming!!!!!!

[59Jsparks]

Friday night he hit 103 like 3 times and 104 and 105

[losson2009]

Saw him pitch a 105 mph. aginst columbus clippers friday night it was the fastest i have ever seen anybody throw that fast.... 75% of his throws were 100+

[LTandlonghornfan81]

@losson2009 what was his consistant pitch speed? about 100?

[ukwazoo]

Rob Dibble used to do the same thing with his other foot in the windup. It's not a balk.

[59Jsparks]

He hit 105 mph last night and 104 mph twice. i was at the game.... craziest shit i ever saw and his 91-92 mph slider had the batters falling on thier ass

[hobbie8046]

He is balking every pitch out of his windup...

[goldenblade335]

@hobbie8046 ur allowed to do that in the windup retard

[theballer04]

@goldenblade335 Don't call people retards, retard

[Aerofighters]

@hobbie8046 No he's not. It's one motion to the plate. It might not be fluid but he's making one motion to the plate.

[fadethetrade]

@hobbie8046 they may let him get away with that

[chuckylarmz]

@hobbie8046 Thats not a Balk

[CubanBaby585]

he hit 103mph

[wdhoctor]

cant wait to see him in cincy, there hasnt been a pitcher this good scince jihnson. With this guy at the topof their, and staff cueto, baily, leak and wood behind him the reds will have the best pitching in the whole league, except for the giants maby, who have lincecum and cain

[calcboy13]

@wdhoctor The yankees have the best staff

[wdhoctor]

@calcboy13 But they would have the best home grown staff, the yanks just go and buy anyone that they need.

[joalco3]

@wdhoctor they will also have volquez next year

[Aerofighters]

@wdhoctor GIants don't and won't.
