VIDEO: Aroldis Chapman Touches 103 on the Radar Gun to Register Final Indians Pop-up of Game
By Mark Powell
Aroldis Chapman can throw some heat--that's no secret. Throughout his career, Chapman has been known as a flamethrower, and while he's added a nasty slider to his arsenal since his move to the Bronx, the Yanks' closer isn't afraid to dial it back every now and then when necessary. Against the Indians with just a one-run lead to spare, Chapman hit 103 MPH on the radar gun, and induced an Oscar Mercado pop-up.
FINAL: Yankees 6, Indians 5.

As if Mercado ever had a chance. To even make contact with such a pitch is impressive enough. However, to actually put it in play with a chance to record a hit in a critical moment is virtually impossible. Game, Yanks.
