Andrew Chafin celebrates 10 years of playing in MLB and opens the season in Cleveland

Andrew Chafin, a seasoned Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher, recently celebrated a significant milestone in his career—his 10-year anniversary in the league. This decade-long journey has been marked by consistent performances, resilience, and a reputation as one of the most reliable relievers in the game.

To add to the significance of this anniversary, Chafin is kicking off the season in Cleveland, a city known for its passionate baseball fan base and deep-rooted love for the sport.

Chafin’s career began when he was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft.

He quickly worked his way through the minor leagues and made his debut in 2014. Since then, he has developed into a versatile left-handed pitcher known for his ability to shut down opposing batters, especially in high-leverage situations.

His unique pitching style—combining a deceptive delivery with a strong slider and a fastball—has made him a formidable presence on the mound.

Throughout his 10 years in the league, Chafin has played for multiple teams, including the Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Oakland Athletics, and Detroit Tigers.
