+ MIF Joe Chiarelli (Downers Grove North, 2023) popped as a follow up-the-middle defender at this event. Built at an athletic 6-foot, 160-pounds, Chiarelli is smooth with the glove, working with a relative ease to him on the dirt. He’s sure-handed with athletic feet that cover ground and allow him to play comfortably on the move. Offensively, Chiarelli swings a loose and quick left-handed bat that works directly to the baseball and stays on the barrel.

Positional Profile: INF/RHP Body: 6-0, 150-pounds. Thin, wiry frame. Delivery: Squared start from the left edge of the rubber; simple pace to high knee lift, tall balance point, slight coil. Drops and drives with shoulders closed, lands closed with toe open; generates substantial torque in torso at plant, creating whip in arm action. Low, easy effort, athleticism in finish. Arm Action: RH. Compact, clean, loose arm action to an over-the-top slot. FB: T76, 75-76 mph. Natural cut; generates noteworthy spin for velocity and age, at an average of 2,402 rpm. CB: 64-65 mph. Present early/gradual action but projects very well; features true depth. 11/5 shape that spins at a high rate, 2,408 rpm on average. CH: 67-71 mph. Feel pitch; slight deceleration. Mostly straight with some arm-side run/fade, flashed late.
Hit: LHH. Balanced setup, pre-pitch hand rhythm, smooth load, leg kick trigger, controlled through contact. Loose athletic hands, short and uphill path, uphill bat path with a gap-to-gap approach. Smooth, fluid rhythm throughout, clear offensive upside. Power: 83 mph exit velocity from the tee. Arm: RH. INF - 78 mph. Short arm stroke, high 3/4 slot. Comfortable throwing from multiple arm angles. Defense: Plays with some pre-pitch bounce, feet breakdown in a smooth rhythm, steady hands with a quick hand transfer, clean to release, plays through at times. Run: 7.14 runner in the 60.
