Spotlight: Uncommitted 2022 Chet Bowling

Preseason All-State Session III

Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6’1”, 170 pounds. Strong, athletic, projectable frame.
Hit: RHH. Hits from a balanced, slightly open stance at the plate. Short back load and small stride. Creates some hand separation. Short to the ball with a more level swing path. Showed quick hands and quick bat speed through the hitting zone. Strong lower half involvement, good extension past contact and a one-handed finish. Nice middle of the field line drive approach, squaring several balls up during BP. 
Power: 88 mph exit velocity from the tee. Gap-to-gap pop with much more projected. 
Arm: RH. C - 73 mph. Throws with short arm action from a mid three-quarter slot. 
Defense: 2.00 - 2.19 pop times. Quick side-step gaining ground on throws to second base.  Throws were on a line and accurate to the bag. Ball showed carry. 
Run: 4.59 home-to-first time.

Delivery: Starts with a quick, rocker side step into a waist high leg kick. Arms seem to get outside of his body some, but still typically generate good action. Hand separation is on time, and fluid. Lands in a competitive position.
Arm Action: RH. Throws downhill out of a low three-quarter arm slot.
FB: T83 mph, 80-82 mph. Arm-side run was evident.
CB: 68-68 mph. Loopy 11/5 shape.
CH: 69-71 mph.
