Chapman Breaks Relief Strikeout Record | Boston Red Sox News
Description
Aroldis Chapman just shattered baseball history, becoming the all-time strikeout leader for relief pitchers with his 1,364th K — and he did it with a 98.6 mph fastball. The 38-year-old, whose career spans 17 years and seven teams since defecting from Cuba in 2009, broke Hoyt Wilhelm’s 50-year-old record while still securing the win and his 383rd save. Known for his electric velocity, Chapman’s consistency and longevity — including eight All-Star nods and a Reliever of the Year award — have made him a legend. Even his teammates celebrated with a career highlight reel, as younger players marvel at his sustained dominance. Chapman’s focus remains laser-sharp, proving he’s still at the top of his game.
