The blazing Cuban pitcher, Aroldis Chapman, once again delivered a dominant performance on the mound, securing his 332nd career save in the Pittsburgh Pirates' victory over the Cincinnati Reds during Sunday’s Major League Baseball (MLB) slate.

Hailing from Holguín, Chapman closed out the ninth inning at full speed, striking out two batters to seal the Pirates’ 2-0 triumph. This achievement solidifies his position as the 16th greatest saver in MLB history.

According to journalist Francys Romero on Facebook, the Cuban fireballer continues to showcase his elite status among MLB relievers this season, boasting 22 holds, 11 saves, 94 strikeouts, and a .201 opponents' batting average. Romero also mentioned that several teams are expected to show interest in Chapman during the upcoming offseason.

Without a doubt, the Cuban pitcher remains a delight to watch, and many predict he could one day find himself in the prestigious Cooperstown Hall of Fame.
