After playing to finish the 2023 Season by lifting the World Series title with the Texas Rangers, the Cuban pitcher, Aroldis Chapman, is preparing to play his 15th season in the Major Leagues, since according to reports, he reached an agreement of one year and 10.5 million dollars with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com was the one who announced that Chapman reached an agreement to continue playing in MLB, which will continue with his major league career, after he started the previous season with the Kansas City Royals and finished with the Rangers .
Chapman, 35, signed a one-year, 3.75-year contract with the Royals last winter and posted a 2.45 ERA in 31 appearances with that squad before he was traded to the Rangers in late June. There, the right-hander pitched in nine postseason games with a 2.25 ERA during Texas’ run to the World Series title.
AROLDIS CHAPMAN’S TEAMS IN MLB
- Cincinnati Reds: 2010 to 2015
- New York Yankees: de 2016 a 2022
- Chicago Cubs: 2016
- Kansas City Royals: 2023
- Texas Rangers: 2023
Although the left-hander does not profile as a closer at this stage of his career (he has made just 15 regular-season saves in the last two years), he still averages 99.5 mph with his fastball.
However, the biggest flaw that some point to with Aroldis Chapman right now is his lack of control, as he had a 14.5% walk rate in each of the last three seasons, and finished 2023 with 36 walks in 56.1 innings. Seventh Entry
