## Resource

Aroldis Chapman just shattered a 50-year-old MLB record with his 1,364th strikeout, eclipsing Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm—yes, the one that wasn’t even his 100-mph fastball, clocked at 98.6 mph. Still, the batter couldn’t keep up. Chapman, now 37 and a 17-year veteran, didn’t just break the record—he closed out the game for the Red Sox, proving his dominance endures. After a brief pause to soak it in, he returned to the mound, pitching for seven teams since defecting from Cuba in 2009 and earning eight All-Star nods. His career mirrors baseball’s evolution of the relief pitcher, and he’s thrived in the spotlight. The Red Sox celebrated with a montage for his young teammates, honoring a legend who’s turned velocity, grit, and longevity into a modern masterpiece.
