Aroldis Chapman of the Boston Red Sox set the MLB all-time strikeout record for relievers on Friday, July 4, 2026, recording his 1,364th career strikeout as a reliever during a ninth-inning appearance against the Los Angeles Angels. The milestone came when Chapman struck out Angels third baseman Denzer Guzman on three pitches, including a 94-mph four-seam fastball, an 87-mph slitter, and a 98-mph sinker. Chapman celebrated the historic moment with a salute from the mound at Angel Stadium as his Red Sox teammates rose from the bench in recognition.
