Chambers

RHP Brady Chambers (Lyons Township, 2024; Michigan State commit) continues to give hitters a tough look from a long-levered 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame. The Michigan State commit has shown well in front of our staff across multiple looks in 2023, and carried that success into his start on Saturday afternoon. Chambers ran the fastball up to 87 mph, while primarily working in the mid-80’s with some carry up in the zone. He also showed improved feel for a mid-70s curveball with late break that got plenty of swings and misses low in the zone. Currently ranked No. 53 inside the state’s 2024 class.

Chambers provided yet another impressive look on the mound during his start on Saturday morning. Has been trending up this spring/summer after a successful showing at the Preseason Underclass showcase. Stands out with a 6-foot-6, 205-pound frame with long-levers. Moves well for his size, getting downhill and utilizing a whippy arm action. Mostly fastballs, working in the mid-80s, T87 mph with finish through the zone. Went to a mid-70s changeup with confidence that has out-pitch potential. Also flashed feel for a low-70s curveball with gradual break. Still more velocity to come within the frame. Currently ranked No. 48 in the state’s 2024 class.
