Hype meister du jour long legged it to the mound after his new mates built an 8-3 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers. Reds fans made as much noise as a 19,218 crowd could.
Poor Jonathan Lucroy was the first hitter to face him in the big leagues. Chapman threw a strike at 98 mph on the first pitch as cameras flashed. He got a swing and miss on an 86 mph slider for strike two. Lucroy fouled a 102mph pitch sideways and whiffed on an 86mph slider.
Craig Counsel was next. Swing and miss at 100mph heater. He grounded out on a 102 pitch.
Carlos Gomez next. A 101 fastball missed inside. He was retired on a 98 mph fastball grounding out 4-3.
