His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Aroldis Chapman baseball stats page.
"The pitch was not a fluke: Chapman threw 25 pitches in his 1 1/3 innings of relief, and every one was at least 100 mph. He didn't throw a slider. He didn't throw a changeup. Why would he? From Walter Johnson to Bob Feller to Steve Dalkowski to J.R. Richard to Nolan Ryan to Stephen Strasburg, blistering velocity is etched forever in baseball lore. Rush Chapman to the head of the list." - Henson, Steve. Yahoo! Sports Staff Writer. Chapman throws fastest pitch ever recorded. 25 September 2010.

Did you know Aroldis Chapman is the fastest pitcher in baseball history? His 105.1 mph pitch on September 24, 2010, was thrown inside on Tony Gwynn for a ball and evened the count at 2-2. Gwynn had "successfully" fouled off the previous two pitches and "successfully" fouled off the next two after the record setter, before striking out. Chapman threw him seven pitches during the at-bat, the slowest of which was 102 mph, and in the postgame press conference Gwynn said, "I didn't see it until the ball was behind me. I was trying not to look at the radar reading because I'd be intimidated. I saw how hard he was throwing and just tried to be slow and work my hands."
