There is a reason why Chapman can consistently throw pitches over 100 mph. It’s because he is a workout beast. Most experts think it’s unsafe for pitchers to Bench Press, due to the stress that can be placed on their shoulders; but the 4-time All-Star disagrees.

Recently “The Cuban Missile” posted on Instagram how much he could bench, and it’s an incredible amount of weight. In the video, the 28-year-old pitcher appears to be putting up 295 pounds on the Bench Press.
