Control continues to be a major issue for Chapman, who issued 39 free passes over 61.2 innings with the Pirates in 2024. His 14.7 percent walk rate was the worst among qualified relievers, but he still posted an impressive 22.3 K-BB percentage that was a top-25 mark. The veteran southpaw averaged 99.8 miles per hour on his sinker, inducing a 32 percent whiff rate that is consistently near the top of the leaderboard for that pitch type. He struck out 98 batters and racked up 14 saves, proving he can still get the job done in the ninth inning. Chapman, who will turn 37 years old in February, signed a one-year, $10.75 million deal with Boston. He'll be a candidate to close for the Red Sox alongside Liam Hendriks and Justin Slaten.
