Aroldis Chapman built his reputation around a pitch that could overwhelm hitters before they had much time to react. The Cuban-born left-hander joined Major League Baseball with Cincinnati in 2010 and quickly established himself as one of the game's most intimidating relief pitchers. His fastball regularly reached triple digits, with MLB recording a 105.1 mph pitch in 2010.
The Aroldis Chapman T-Shirt brings that unmistakable pitching identity into a more casual baseball setting. Rather than focusing on one particular season, it reflects a career built around velocity, pressure situations and years spent handling the final innings of Major League games.
Chapman's résumé has continued to grow through longevity. He has made eight All-Star teams, won the 2016 World Series with the Cubs and accumulated more than 350 saves during his career. His move to Boston adds another chapter to a career that has already included stops with Cincinnati, New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Texas, Pittsburgh and several other clubs.
