Aroldis Chapman shuts down Yankees, secures save
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sat, Sep 28th 7:05am EDT
Aroldis Chapman delivered a flawless performance, striking out two and securing a save in the Yankees' 2-4 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
His outing was efficient, requiring only eight pitches to complete a clean inning. Despite the loss, Chapman's ability to maintain control and overpower hitters was on full display, which is a positive sign for fantasy managers. His season has been a mix of highs and lows, marked by a somewhat elevated ERA of 3.84 and a WHIP of 1.36, but his impressive strikeout rate of 14.3 K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset in categories that reward strikeouts and saves. This performance should reassure managers of his capability in high-pressure situations, though his occasional inconsistency this season suggests a cautious approach in deploying him depending on matchup sensitivity.
