Aroldis Chapman Biography, Age

Albertín Aroldis Chapman de la Cruz was born on February 28, 1988, in Holguín Province, Cuba. It was here that he was brought up alongside two sisters.

While growing up, Chapman whose grandparents were Jamaican migrants to Cuba lived in a small house with his father who was a boxing trainer, and his mother who was a housewife.

What has come to make him very popular is the game of baseball which he began playing in his home country of Cuba. This began with a local baseball club when he was a teenager.

At the time, it was as a first baseman that he played, but this would later change when his coach noticed that he would make a better pitcher and thus converted him to pitch.

By the time he was 16, Chapman had already got a place in the Holguín Sabuesos which played in the Cuban National Series League.

Before long, he was able to get to play for the Cuban national baseball team, joining the team at the Pan American Games which it won in 2007 as well as the Baseball World Cup in the same year, ending with silver.

This wouldn’t last long as the New York Yankees would again come back by the end of 2016 to sign him back in a five-year deal worth $86 million after he had helped the Cubs to win the 2016 World Series.
