Chapman joined the Pirates after winning World Series with Rangers
Aroldis Chapman, a two-time World Series champion and seven-time All-Star, shocked baseball fans Tuesday with a strange video he posted on Instagram Stories.
The video showed the Pittsburgh Pirates star sitting on a couch and grabbing an older woman’s chest. The video then showed the woman push Chapman’s hand away before he started to caress her stomach.
It wasn’t clear who the woman was. Sports Illustrated speculated it was Chapman’s mother. A separate video, which was also on Chapman’s story, showed the woman cooking in a kitchen with another man, according to the New York Post.

The Pirates didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by Fox News Digital about the video.
The Cuban-born pitcher signed a one-year deal with the Pirates last month. He split time between the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers in 2023. He and the Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series last season.
Chapman has a career 2.53 ERA with 1,148 strikeouts and 321 saves.
He’s spent time with the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees as well.
