Aroldis Chapman Picks Up 300th Career Save
3 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman notched his 24th save of the year in Thursday's victory over the Athletics. Chapman worked his first save opportunity since returning from the injured list, firing eight of 13 pitches for strikes and notching one punchout en route to picking up the save, the 300th of his career. Chapman went with an interesting approach Thursday, throwing 12 fastballs and one splitter, with no sliders sprinkled in. He took some heat off the fastball but located it well, which is a good sign after some control issues popped up earlier this season. Chapman should be expected to see the bulk of New York's save chances the rest of the way, making him a solid fantasy closer option.
