Jhoulys Chacín
Jhoulys Jose Chacín Molina (Jo-LEASE Sha-SEEN; born January 7, 1988) is a Venezuelan-American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Angels, San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, and Atlanta Braves. Listed at 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and 215 pounds (98 kg), he throws and bats right-handed.
Chacín signed with the Colorado Rockies as an international free agent in 2004, and was considered to be one of their top prospects prior to 2009 and 2010. Chacín was called up directly to the majors from the Double-A Tulsa Drillers on July 24, 2009. In 2010, in his first full season in MLB with the Rockies, Chacín had 9 wins, a 3.28 ERA, and led all NL rookies in strikeouts with 138.
Chacín started the 2011 season as one of the best young pitchers in baseball, but after the second half of the season, he became inconsistent with his mechanics. He did, however, finish with a record of 11–14 with a 3.62 ERA in 31 starts. In 194 innings pitched, he struck out 150 batters. However, he led the National League in walks with 87. He threw his first career shutout in his first career complete game on April 15, 2011. In 2012, Chacín was limited to just 14 starts due to a pectoral injury.
In 2013, Chacín rebounded to give the Rockies a much needed lift in the rotation. He finished 14–10 with 3.47 ERA in 197.1 innings pitched. He kept the ball in the ballpark, allowing 11 home runs, 6 of which were allowed in Coors Field, while also hitting his first major league home run against Randall Delgado. Chacín began the 2014 season on the DL with shoulder inflammation. Chacín's 2014 was not good at all, as he battled through injury and inconsistency, managing to start just 11 games before being shut down for the season due to injury. His record finished at 1–7 and a career worst 5.40 ERA.
On March 22, 2015, Chacín was released by the Rockies.
On April 14, 2015, Chacín was signed to a minor league deal by the Cleveland Indians. He was granted his release on June 18 after exercising an opt-out clause. He had a 3.21 ERA in 7 starts for the Triple-A Columbus Clippers.
On June 20, 2015, Chacín signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. On August 24, the Diamondbacks selected Chacín's contract, adding him to their active roster. In 5 games (4 starts) for Arizona, he compiled a 2–1 record and 3.38 ERA with 21 strikeouts across 26+2⁄3 innings pitched. On November 6, Chacín was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Reno Aces; he subsequently rejected the assignment in favor of free agency.
On December 14, 2015, Chacín signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves. He was also given a non-roster invitation to MLB Spring training. Chacín began the 2016 season with the Gwinnett Braves of the Triple–A International League, and was promoted to the major leagues on April 12. He started 5 games for the Braves, going 1–2 with a 5.40 ERA.
