Though Chapman coming off the injured list is good news, his recent appearance in his swanky car has become a popular event. And the whole internet is talking about his tank-shaped car.

Talking about the Yankees’ defense, Aaron Boone has everything covered. In the name of Nestor Cortes Jr., Gerrit Cole, Jameson Taillon, and Luis Severino, the Yankees have a few of the best pitchers in MLB. But having an extra option always gives an extra edge to the management. And that’s why the Yankees have called Chapman for their active roster.

Let’s not talk about his performance for a while. The Yankees’ pitcher likes to drive classy cars. And his recent appearance is enough to tell about his passion for cars. Recently, after completing his Double-A rehab assignment, Chapman left the place in what looked like a tank-shaped car.

In an old interview with YES Network, Chapman revealed his love for cars. The Yankees star said it was his dream to get lots of cars.
“In Cuba, we have a lot of cars. Most of those cars are plastic cars from the 1960s… You develop a passion for sharing things,” Chapman said. “As a kid, you dream about having or what if you could get something in the future…”
