MOST VIEWED PLAYER PROFILES IN NC
NO. 9: Chance Mako
The NC State recruit is one the top 2023 pitchers in the country. At 6-foot-6 the loose, athletic right-hander has impressed during his time at East Rowan High and on the summer circuit with the South Charlotte Panthers.
He gets his fastball into the low 90’s with ease and uses a high spin breaking ball that creates a lot of swing and miss. He has shown the ability to hold his velocity deep into games and looks to have more coming in the future.
Mako is already drawing attention from pro-scouts and is scheduled to throw at the North Carolina ProCase in February.
