01/24/2015 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Chase is a Junior catcher, who has the ability to swing the stick at the plate. He keeps it simple at the plate with a good setup, and a soft square stride, getting him to a strong hitting position. Chase also shows the ability to drive the baseball to the gaps, getting his barrel to the baseball consistently. He also has the ability to use his entire body during the swing, maximizing his bat speed and power at the plate. To make the next step as a hitter, Chase needs to continue to work on his contact points and letting the off speed pitch travel deeper into the hitting zone.
