Tom Groeschen on John Fay's Blog:

According to the Louisville Bats, Aroldis Chapman hit 105 mph with one of his heaters last night. Read more here.

When will Chapman be called up?

“We’re going to have to wait until Sept. 1,” general manager Walt Jocketty recently told The Enquirer. “That will give him a chance to stabilize in the bullpen and get more experience. We’re trying to find the right time.”

Chapman will be eligible for the playoffs.

“We have two extra spots because we have two players on the 60-man disabled list,” Jocketty said.

Those players are Mike Lincoln and Jose Arredondo.

During his last 17 appearances, Chapman is 3-0-8 with a 0.96 ERA, 31K, and 4BB.

"That's the first time we've seen 105 on the gun," Bats manager Rick Sweet said. "We've had scouts tell us they've gotten 105, but that's the first time we've seen it."
