The Cuban guy Aroldis Chapman of the Texas Rangers was in trouble last Saturday in the Division Series against the Baltimore Orioles, however, he managed to escape unscathed thanks to his speed.
It was the bottom of the eighth inning when Aroldis Chapman It began with two consecutive walks issued without producing outs. However, he managed to overpower Venezuelan Anthony Santander with a grounder into a double play and finally ended the threat by striking out Ryan Mountcastle.
What seemed like a great opportunity for the Orioles to equal or surpass the score was frustrated by the Cuban’s deliveries, who with a fastball at 101 miles passed Mountcastle with the third strike.

It should be noted that the nicknamed “Cuban Missile” is the fourth reliever with the most strikeouts in postseason history, only behind Mariano Rivera, Kenley Jansen and Ryan Madson.
So far in the playoffs the Texas Rangers have played three games and Chapman has made two appearances, in which he recorded two innings, 2 walks and 2 strikeouts without allowing a score.
It is no secret to anyone that Chapman is looking to do his job, in the process improving his playoff record, which while he was with the New York Yankees was not the best. His regular season has been one of the best of his career, he is probably on track to do the same in the postseason.
