Chase
Powrozek

Powrozek had an impressive Regional week on the mound and at the plate. On the mound, he threw a five inning shutout to get past Belvidere. In the win he allowed one hit, no runs, struck out 14 and walked two. At the plate he went 4-for-5 with a double, triple, home run and three RBIs.

Uncommitted. Got the start for the Rockets on Monday and showed some intrigue on the mound. Measures in at a mature 6-foot-2, 215-pounds and moves well down the mound. His arm works with a longer draw out of the glove, releasing from a high ¾ slot with arm-speed out front. His arsenal was headlined by a mid 80’s fastball that touched 88 mph multiple times in the first couple innings with arm-side run. He went to a 73-76 mph curveball that had some 12/6 bite to it for the occasional swing and miss. Powrozek is an uncommitted arm to keep tabs on moving forward in the junior class.
