Aroldis Chapman is quickly becoming a New York Yankees legend. Emphasis on quick.

On Tuesday, some 24 hours after making his Bronx debut, Chapman electrified Yankee Stadium by lighting up the radar gun in his first save opportunity in pinstripes.

The four-time All-Star entered the game in the ninth with the Yankees holding a 10-7 lead over the Royals, and promptly broke Cheslor Cuthbert's bat on a 102-mph fastball, struck out Christian Colon, and retired Lorenzo Cain two batters later for his first save as a Yankee.
