The 97 Chapman won’t be better than the live series
-
Sure, It’ll have higher H/9 & K/9 but you know what it won’t have?….The splitter. He didn’t throw the splitter when he was in Cincy & That pitch is what makes his live series so deadly.
-
And he will have outlier on the sinker, which is generally worse. Especially when the fastball is already 102

True…I still think the splitter is more valuable as most people just sit heat against him & his splitter is so nasty.

But it will have a changeup and I'll take that over a splitter any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I'm late to the party hearing about the 97 Chapman. When does it come out and how do you get it? Thanks guys
-
Is it BR reward?

Also, better BB9 and Control

Yeah - this is a funny argument here. 97 SS Chapman is amazing. Was LY and no doubt will be the same TY.
Plus TY you can parallel up so technically will be his best card ever. But if someone wants to roll out his gold version, so be it. Strong card as well but to say it’s “better” is hard to substantiate other than someone’s qualitative opinion.
-
Since nobody wanted to reply, he is a new BR reward along with 99 Musial.
In the path, I assume at 90pts again is 97 2nd half Pujols

I mean it was pretty well documented that his live series was just as good or better last year. Not having double outlier makes a much bigger difference than people realize.

Yea man. So much easier to throw with pinpoint.
They could in theory update his SS to have it too.
His SS will be the best lefty reliever until Wagner’s 99. Going to replace Soto for me. I love Hader and Britton.
-
I have a gut feeling this will be the end game closer no matter what his pitches or stats look like. His live series card is already ridiculous and now this one, sheeesshhh
-
LS Chapman was arguably better than SS Chapman last year
-
It will have the splitter. It’s a signature series card. Includes everything from his career. Not just specific years. They will add it in. Just like how Mo had a sinker last year.

I disagree, yes he will be a staple in most bullpens but when/if we get a 99 overall Billy Wagner that will be the end game closer.

Billy is the best - no doubt. Really hoping he comes soon (but not in Extreme).
-
It's a signature series card, so it will have all of his pitches.

I have a gut feeling he may be one of the Extreme rewards unfortunately, in past years he's been a Collection reward (2019?) BR Reward (2020) so it would make sense unless of course they make him a inning boss which would be amazing and my pick for sure.
