7/30/18 - Chadwick came out of the gate at OK Limited Series humming fastballs at 87-90, and was dominant for the first three innings creating a downward plane from his 6-foot-5, 187-pound frame and high ¾ slot. The frame stands out as he stands tall atop the mound with wide, broad shoulders and a strong backside. His slider showed some tilt at 76-77 with late-breaking action, and he demonstrated the ability to bury it late in counts for swings and misses. His arm works freely with a medium-sized swing before showing off quick hand speed out front. The game got away from him a bit in the fourth inning, but there is a lot of upside for the big right-hander moving forward, and I’m looking forward to seeing him pitch again next week at the Future Games.
