Very interesting information from Hal McCoy's blog:

ABOUT THE only thing Aroldis Chapman seems to struggle with is his
change-up. And every morning, sitting not 10 feet away from Chapman, is
Reds special instructor Mario Soto, who owned one of the all-time best
change-ups.

I asked Soto, �What kind of change-up does Chapman throw?�

�I don�t know,� said Soto.

�Aren�t you helping him with his change-up?� I asked.

�No,� said Soto. �Nobody has asked me. If they do, I�ll be glad to help.
I�m here. They know it. But I�m not messing with that kid until they ask
me.�

Boggles the mind, only in the Reds organization IMO.
