Filed under: RedsReds reliever Aroldis Chapman kicked things up a notch in his second major league appearance. The fireballing Cuban defector, who wowed fans in Cincinnati during his major league debut Tuesday by hitting 103 mph, picked up the first win of his career Wednesday.
He also pushed his velocity up to 104 mph twice, according to MLB.com's Pitch F/X readings.
Chapman entered the game in the seventh inning with the Reds down 1-0 to Milwaukee, and he dazzled again, throwing nine strikes in 11 pitches and fanning a pair of Brewers in a 1-2-3 frame.
Of those 11 offerings, seven were fastballs. Two came in at 104 mph, four at 102 and one at 99.
