Justin
Chambers

LHP Justin Chambers (Basha HS, AZ), a Washington State recruit, showcased a starter’s profile with premium feel for three pitches. Across two outings the sturdy and athletic, 6-foot-3, 210-pound southpaw was dominant working four innings, striking out seven, yielding just three hits with neither a walk nor a run. He was 87-90 on the final day with a power arm stroke that got quality extension while working linear down the mound. He countered the fastball with feel for a shorter 77-80 slurve and faded 77-79 changeup.
