<p>If history has taught us something is that you cannot perform at the highest level unless you have some stellar pitching. Even some <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/MLB-News-Carlos-Correa-and-the-most-shocking-off-season-transactions-20221221-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> teams </strong>that struggle to get hits have won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-world-series-2022-prize-money-how-much-do-the-champions-receive-20221027-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> thanks to their <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-free-agents-jacob-degrom-and-best-pitchers-available-20221110-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aces</a> on the mound.</strong></p>
<p>It doesn’t matter how manyruns you can put up or how good your defense is. The sad and hard truth is that no team can win unless it has some solid and reliable arms<strong> in the rotation and the bullpen.</strong></p>
<p>Nonetheless, for whatever reason, some of the<strong> best hurlers in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/MLB-News-Aaron-Judge-and-the-hiighest-paid-MLB-players-20221207-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a></strong> remain unsigned this deep into the offseason. That’s why today, we’re going to make a case for the best pitchers still available.</p>
<h2>MLB News: The Best Pitchers Still Available</h2>
<h3>3. Zack Greinke</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221226_BUS_210039_zack_greinke.jpg_22993414_1debc2ad.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Zack Greinke – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Even though he’s coming off a down year by his standards, the fact that<strong> Zack Greinke</strong> is still unsigned at this point in the winter is mind-boggling, to say the least. Especially considering he may not need a lot of money to join a contender.</p>
<p>Greinke has been one of the <strong>most consistent and steady contributors</strong> on the mound over the past decade or so. He’s better than most team’s fourth starter at the very least, so he should’ve gotten more interest in free agency.</p>
<h3>2. Aroldis Chapman</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221226_BUS_210039_aroldis_chapman.jpg_22993414_37c68574.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Aroldis Chapman – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It seemed like the <strong>Aroldis Chapman </strong>era with the <strong>New York Yankees w</strong>as all but over. And now that <strong>Brian Cashman</strong> has yet to re-sign the <em>Cuban Missile</em> after all the deals they got done, that might as well be the case.</p>
<p>Chapman has <strong>struggled with control and consistency </strong>as of late, and some believe his days as a closer are numbered. But he’s still one of the best RPs of the past two decades and should get another shot to prove his worth.</p>
<h3>1. Nathan Eovaldi</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221226_BUS_210039_nathan_eovaldi_x1x.jpg_22993414_dc7e93a2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Nathan Eovaldi – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Once again, <strong>Nathan Eovaldi </strong>was one of the few— if not the only— bright spots for the <strong>Boston Red Sox</strong> last season. He was efficient, consistent, and helped them stay in games even when their offense couldn’t get the job done.</p>
<p>But, considering how <strong>Chaim Bloom </strong>has handled his payroll over the past couple of years, a return to Fenway Park just doesn’t seem realistic at this point. Needless to say, multiple teams could and should be interested in his services.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Yankees </strong></a>have put together one of the most overpowered offenses <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong> </a>has seen in a while. Slugging clearly isn’t an issue and their star-studded lineup promises to be a big threat year in and year out. When it comes to pitching, however, things get kind of rocky. Inconsistency, lack of depth, and multiple injuries have prevented the <em>Bronx Bombers </em>from getting back to the big stage, and some people question<strong> Aroldis Chapman’s </strong>ability to close out important games, as he’s been victimized by his opponents in the postseason as of late.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Chapman is known for his power and abilty to top the 100 mph mark with ease. However, he’s struggled with control and has been a bit of a coin toss when it matters the most for<strong> Aaron Boone’s </strong>team.</p>
<p>That’s why he’s trying to evolve and become a more complete and versatile pitcher, as he recently told <strong>The Athletic </strong>that he’s added the splitter to his repertoire now that he’s getting older and his speed may not be there every day.</p>
<h2>Aroldis Chapman To Add The Splitter To His Pitching Arsenal</h2>
<p><em>“I’m not 25 anymore. I’m older, I’m not throwing 105 miles per hour every day. That’s the reality. Believe it or not, I used to throw a splitter back in Cuba when I was a starter. It was a pitch that I had used way back, then later on when I came to MLB and I started pitching, they basically told me to not use the splitter anymore. That being said, it has always been a pitch that I felt comfortable throwing —<strong> in fact I feel more comfortable throwing a splitter than a changeup</strong>,”</em> Chapman said.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Yankees added <strong>Corey Kluber </strong>to their rotation this year in hopes of finally putting an end to their <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a> drought but they’ll need their bullpen to also rise to the occasion, so hopefully, Chapman will be back to his best after two subpar seasons.</p>

Aroldis Chapman reveals his new secret weapon

Aroldis Chapman reveals his new secret weapon - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-yankees-t110370" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> and<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/tampa-bay-rays-t110457" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Tampa Bay Rays</a> </strong>simply hate each other. It’s been like that for years and that’s not likely to change any time soon, with both teams fighting for the supremacy of the AL East.</p>
<p>Rays and Yankees are always a close pitch away from clearing the benches, and that’s exactly what happened a couple of nights away when <strong>Aroldis Chapman threw a 101 mph pitch over Mike Brosseau’s head.</strong></p>
<p>Given the team’s histories, it’s pretty fair to think that Chapman did that on purpose. Then again, the flamethrower has had some struggles with his command and has barely pitched at all this season. Also, <strong>the Yankees were up 2 runs with 2 outs in the top of the 9th.</strong></p>

<p>At the end of the day, <strong>Kevin Cash and Aaron Boone </strong>said some things, the players cussed each other out, and the league handed the Cuban a three-game suspension for his alleged role in the altercation.</p>
<h2>Aroldis Chapman Will Appeal His Suspension</h2>
<p>That’s why Chapman <strong>tried to clear the air </strong>and explain that he had no intention whatsoever of hurting Brosseau. He admitted that he’s struggled with his command all year long and it’s still trying to get back in shape:</p>
