Chapman Wows Reds Hitters In Live BP

[WadeMV3]

Cincinnati Enquirer - Aroldis Chapman faced batters for the first time on Wednesday since signing with the Reds.

In the 10-minute session, Chris Heisey was the only hitter to make solid contact. He lined one to right that would have been a single.

“Chapman looked very good, very comfortable against hitters,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “He threw a lot of strikes. His slider was pretty nasty.”

“I thought he looked great,” said Chris Burke, a veteran of six big league seasons. “The fastball was down. It had tremendous life to it. The slider was tight. The change-up was good. He’s a little herky-jerky. I think it makes him more uncomfortable to hit against.

“I think he had to be throwing in the mid-90s, especially when he got out of the windup. There was an extra gear there.”
