Verbally committed to Lake Land JC.
7/18/23

LHP/1B Chance Payne (Mt. Pulaski, 2025) was another 2025 left/left two-way prospect to know from the event. Payne has a 5-foot-11, 190-pounds, athletic build with developing strength and is a fluid mover that displayed a three-pitch mix headlined by a fastball that sat 81-83 mph, topping out at 84.1 mph with ride through the zone (17.3” max induced vertical break). Payne’s offspeed offerings consisted of a gyro-type breaking ball that he controlled well to the glove-side, and a developing changeup that had a similar profile to his fastball. Payne also showcased developing bat strength at the plate, topping at 90.1 mph off the bat. His swing works level and creates leverage out front, elevating baseballs to the pull-side. Payne rounded out his workout with a solid showing with his glove at first base where he showcased the ability to be light on his feet paired with steady hands, and a clean release from a ¾ slot.
