Positional Profile: LHP/OF Chavez had a strong showing on the mound, consistent strike thrower with good secondaries.
Body: 5-11, 160-pounds. Compact and well-developed build.
Delivery: Leg kicks to his waist line, loads and drives deep onto his back leg.
Arm Action: LH. Shorter arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 84-87 mph. Tons of arm side run on FB. Good control on the plate. T2023, 1897 average rpm.
SL: 72-76 mph. varying from 12-6 to traditional slider movement, strong spin and dive. T2131, 1927 average rpm.
CH: 76-79 mph. Gets good dive and fade. Showed the ability to work it low in zone. Works well off FB. T2079, 1530 average rpm.
CUT: 77-77 mph.
ATH: 7.19 runner in the 60. 25.90 max vertical.
Positional Profile: LHP/OF Chavez had a strong showing on the mound, consistent strike thrower with good secondaries.
Body: 5-11, 160-pounds. Compact and well-developed build.
Hit: LHH. Wide and open stance, bat rests on his shoulder. Load takes his hands up and back with his entire body moving toward the catcher until swing. Strides in with foot cutting off leaking. 67.7 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 86.5 mph. 322' max distance.
Arm: LH. OF-84 mph. Whippy and fast arm. Has arm side run on throws.
Defense: Agile in the outfield, covers ground and sets feet well.
ATH: 7.19 runner in the 60. 25.90 max vertical.
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-9, 150-pounds. Compact fame with noticeable athleticism and some strength.
Hit: Simple to start, neutral feet with medium-high hands. Small leg kick and weight shift. Level barrel path through the zone. Quiet head, seems effortless.
Power: 85.00 max exit velocity, Current LD gap to gap power, will look for more to be added as strength increases.
Arm: LH. OF - 88.00 mph. Clean, shorter arm action from the OF that has some whip to it.
Defense: Displayed athleticism through fielding balls in rhythm with quality footwork. Moved around well to both sides while under control.
Run: 7.24 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Sets up on 3B side of the rubber. Simple to start, medium-high leg kick that does not offset the backside. Stable back foot. The back knee begins to cave during drive-down mound suggesting slight quad dominance. Everything is collected and under control.
Arm Action: LH. Short, efficient arm path that repeated consistently. High 3/4 slot with clean finish and deceleration.
FB: T80, 77-80 mph. Average 77.6 with 18.6" of induced vertical break. Average spin at 1957 rpm. Showed potential for above-average ride with a 20.9" max.
SL: 66-68 mph. 9-10 MPH velocity difference from the FB, pitch gets a slight amount of induced vertical break but is dominated by horizontal sweep (5.1" avg).
CH: 71-72 mph. Does a quality job of killing both velocity and induced vertical break. 9 mph velocity difference combined with an 8" separation in IVB makes this a plus pitch from a metric standpoint.
