Yankees' Aroldis Chapman: Perfect in opening week
Chapman has pitched twice in the team's opening seven games, tallying four strikeouts over two innings.
Analysis:
The Yankees haven't found themselves in a save situation yet, so Chapman hasn't been able to get on the board in that category. He's still been extremely effective when called upon though, tossing 20 of 26 pitches for strikes in a pair of perfect appearances. He's arguably the top closer in all of baseball, so the only thing that could hold back the left-handed flamethrower this season will be if the youth-focused Yankees don't put the 29-year-old in enough save situations.
