Joba Chamberlain is a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Chamberlain started his college career playing for the University of Nebraska-Kearney Lopers under coach Damon Day, before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Chamberlain was drafted 41st overall by the New York Yankees in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. On August 7, 2007, the Yankees purchased Chamberlain's contract, elevating him to the major leagues for the first time in his career. In his debut, a Yankees victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, Chamberlain struck out the first batter he faced and went on to pitch two scoreless innings, striking out two. When pitching out of the bullpen, his fastball is known to sit in the upper 90's while occasionally topping 101 mph with tailing action. His slider rates over 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale and has caused batters to swing and miss 75% of the time. When pitching as a starter, he makes use of an above average change-up and a mid to high 70s plus-curve, along with his fastball and slider. His fastball will sit in the 94-100 mph range when Joba pitches as a starter.
