Aroldis Chapman ended the Minnesota Twins' season with authority.
In front of a jam-packed crowd at Yankee Stadium during Tuesday's American League wild-card game, the New York Yankees closer sat down Twins hitter Jorge Polanco for the game's final out with a 103.7-mph fastball.
Polanco appeared to have no chance as he swung through the heater, which was the fastest third-strike call of 2017 and the fastest postseason pitch since 2010, according to Statcast.
