  • New York Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman hit Tampa Bay Rays prospect Jake Cronenworth in the ribs with a fastball.
  • Chapman has the fastest fastball in Major League Baseball, averaging over 100 mph.
  • The pitch left a bruise that looks like a crater and can best be described as "disturbing."
