Aroldis Chapman finally got to face a live batter for the first time in eight months, and he took advantage of the opportunity:

quote:

For all of the hype about Chapman's 100-mph fastball coming into camp, it was his slider and changeup that drew the most raves Wednesday.

On his third pitch of the day, Chapman threw a changeup away to infielder Chris Burke, and people standing around the cage were heard saying, "Oooh."

"That's a nice little repertoire. Somebody should sign this kid," Burke joked after leaving the cage.

Burke, Chris Heisey, Chris Valaika, Yonder Alonso and Corky Miller all took their cuts and were asking each other what they saw. Only one hitter -- Heisey -- made solid contact, and that was only once.

Burke and Miller are straight up garbage, but the other three are up and coming prospects that can swing a bat. I'm not jerking off in my Cheerios after reading this story, but it's certainly promising.
