I miss this A's team so much. It just isn't the same.

[@DMalltheway]

That’s what happens when you have an owner that will ship out any over performer

[@thefilmcubano]

Never actually saw this guy play before. But holy chap. This guys reaction time and arm strength are absolutely insane

[@draKe-pl4vf]

Holy chap 😄

[@GoGoJackieO]

Why does anyone even try bunting to 3rd with Chapman fielding

[@mAKtre47]

Haha Olsen blowing a bubble with that play, good stuff boys!!

[@mondolizarraga6637]

Olson*

[@DMalltheway]

So great they traded him for peanuts 🥜

[@mystermysterio5348]

YES! Matt Chapman is a gold glove caliber player. Great defense in the hot corner...Quick on the draw with that gun of an arm.

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

Platinum glove caliber player*

[@MrChip477]

Im your biggest fan!

[@gumercindofregoso3493]

Chapman America I love that......

[@jeffcote318]

The best in baseball

[@MM-qi5mk]

The best thing about Chapman is that all his throws are right on the money

[@themanthemyththelegendmom6045]

Am I the only one that wants to call him Matt champion

[@DERPYMonkey123]

It's going to suck because he is eventually going to want to get paid. And since the A's are a low market team it's going to be interesting when that time comes.

[@reidf8506]

2023 baby

[@andrewrchooven1996]

@Y Marina they better.

[@recluse5122]

2023 He will start for *LA DODGERS* opening day and will successfully replace the great Justin Turner.

[@David-bl2si]

Yeah. I love the A’s but i dont think theyll be able to hold onto Chapman

[@kidzbop38isstraightfire92]

3:33 what a heads-up play!! He knew that runner was gonna round the bag.. impressive

[@mateobullis7528]

This man is a beast

[@dubras1]

I love Chaptain America! His play style gelled so well with Olson. #selltheteam

[@박식물의_야생야사]

Chapman did Chapman... Holy...

[@tazz5406]

I'm impressed by his throwing accuracy. Unreal... Not so much the glove but the throw in positions he threw the ball in

[@storm5912]

The way he affects so many games he plays by his fielding is just so amazing!!!!!!!

[@wi54725]

Matt Chapman and Nolan Arenado are the two best defensive third basemen in the game today. I had the privilege of watching Chapman, Matt Olson, Chad Pinder, Max Muncy, Joey Wendle, and Renato Nunez all on the same Nashville team in 2016.

[@RichardWilliams-sn7tt]

I love GOAT videos; must be why KZbin gave me this one today.

[@craigr1966]

Woohoo Chappy for All Star game 2020

[@bizzles44]

And now in 2022 he and almost every other player in this video is gone from the A’s. Sad…

[@prestonsstuff9515]

Jesus loves you all and he is always with you. God bless and have a wonderful day 🙏🏻

[@whatdagoof6559]

He has the best arm in mlb on the field other than pitchers

[@certifiedguyy]

I go to the Oakland staidium to see him play who else?

[@nnateo]

Hitting: Arenado Fielding: Chapman: Arm: Tie.

[@Jay-mc3bg]

Mateo Rowzee Arenado is a better fielder and hitter btw

[@nnateo]

@@Jay-mc3bg im a rockies fan, so i see nolan alot more than chapman, but when i do see chapman, hes amazing.

[@anthonylong9067]

Abby From Wii Sports arenado and chapman were teammates in HS though

[@reidf8506]

Abby From Wii Sports Chapmans fielding is better but his batting is only slightly worse

[@gustofanelli6311]

Abby From Wii Sports no he isn’t

[@sjang816]

did he pitch when he was younger? his arm is not only extremely strong but accurate

[@dresummers962]

Thinking the same thing. He has a cannon for an arm. I would bet it is a combination of genetics, hard work, and talent.

[@just4fun6671]

Chapman attributes much of his arm strength to throwing lots of long toss in winter ball. You may notice he plays especially deep - near the outfield grass -

[@_shl_6103]

Almost everyone pitched when they were young

[@vinniemacaluso9725]

he played short

[@mattzee9122]

If you can see they are at a baseball game

[@jdawg11mvp83]

0:40 the ball rose what the frick

[@coopers1716]

Something tells me playing catch with Chapman could suck. Dudes hurling 80 mph lasers 80’ without any arch

[@AngelaSmith0028222]

no bc u know he has a rocket for an arm when oly doesnt even need to stretch for half thess

[@letup7408]

Had ever he played as SS in mlb? I want to watch him playing SS.

[@Dommy11]

Maybe for a few innings or a couple of games but Semien has been the A's SS since Chap has been in the league and Sem doesn't take days off. But as much as the A's shift, Chap is often slotted in that hole.

[@alexcarter4290]

he played 6 games at short last year but there’s no film of the games

[@Drummer-qm2tt]

Pujols might have 4000 hits by now if Chapman wasn’t at the hot corner.

[@hansenz]

haha

[@Mike-bk5yc]

Who's in first what's on second matt chapman on third

[@sl0wthy]

Not watching this to remember the good old days…

[@Thebanana222]

arenado>>>>>>>>>>

[@rileysnedlog5006]

The first guy said josh Donaldson

[@gretz5792]

he was referencing when donaldson used to be on the A’s and making tarp catches like that. Listen to the context.

[@tonygaertner8863]

That’s an arm

[@adam4nt417]

Is it just me or did one of his throws rise?

[@just4fun6671]

Looks like he released it early. That's why it sailed a bit

[@just4fun6671]

Humans aren't able to throw baseballs with true rising action. The speed and back spin combination necessary to counteract the Magnus Effect do not seem to be within the bounds of human mechanical abilities

[@paul-baseballcollector]

@@just4fun6671 watch again at 00:55. It did rise it seems

[@just4fun6671]

@@paul-baseballcollector watch the physical laws of the universe again. It's been scientifically proven that there is no rise ball thrown in the major leagues tht.fangraphs.com/the-physics-of-a-rising-fastball/

0:42 was really Olsen saving his ass after that throw. Great snag, though.

[@Thiccems_Mcgee]

the dodgers need this dude asap, and he'll be able to watch his lakers any day he wants.

Not sure with his weak bat

[@juuzang]

Dee Gordon was safe on that bunt play, but it was still a nice throw
