Today, we're going to look at two rookie pitchers that are testing free agency. One is certain to join a major league team. The other... not so much.
The former is Aroldis Chapman. Chapman is believed to be 21 and is a left-hander out of Cuba, defecting this past July. If you watched the WBC, you would have seen Chapman represent Cuba.
There is no question that Chapman has electric stuff -- he holds the record for fastest pitch in Cuban history, being clocked at 2012. He's also been called one of the three greatest pitchers currently not in the major leagues along with Yu Darvish of Japan and new National Stephen Strasburg.
