Reds' Chapman eager to pitch in front of home crowd
Todd Frazier got to experience the thrill of performing in front of the hometown fans in Monday's Home Run Derby.
On Tuesday, Aroldis Chapman wants to learn what that feels like.
Chapman is excited to be participating in the All-Star Game and even more excited that the game in in his home park.
"I feel proud to be here," Chapman told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "I hope that the opportunity (to pitch) comes tomorrow. Every time that happens during the regular season and the gates open, the fans go crazy and I like that. I look forward to that."
The fans certainly went crazy for Frazier in the Derby on Monday night and if that was any indication, then Great American Ball Park will be electric if Chapman comes in for a save on Tuesday night.
