12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Chase continues to impress on the diamond, displaying smooth defensive skills behind the plate and a solid approach at bat. His soft, sure mitt exhibits strong pocket awareness by sticking pitches, while he uses his body effectively during blocking, centering balls out front. His pop times, currently around 2.90 seconds, are expected to improve as he develops more arm strength through a long toss program. Offensively, Chase utilizes a squared setup and aggressive swing path, showcasing quick hands and a line-drive approach that allows him to stay inside the ball and use all fields, complemented by an aggressive hip turn in his lower half. His strong mental makeup, coachability, and work ethic position him well for continued growth.
