Chastain, our No. 4 LHP in the 2027 group, reaffirmed bullish outlooks from the fall with even more strides in his development. The 6-foot-2 southpaw added noticeable strength to a now 200-pound frame over the winter. He ripped fastballs at 88-90 and they played with heavy life through the zone. It is a polished 4-pitch mix for Chastain as the heavy heater sets the tunnel for 3 usable secondaries that he showed feel for. He swept an upper-70s slider for 13" of sweep, on average, while also featuring a more top-down CB in the mid-70s that played with over 16" of depth on average. The changeup has ticked at least a grade, an 81-83 mph offering with arm-side depth.

Cutler Chastain (LHP) (’27): Interesting LH arm that missed a ton of bats with high rise FB at 80-82 T84. Pounded the top of the zone and racked up 4 K’s in first two innings, ran into control issues in the second but limited damage, used a 74-76 CH diving away from RHH, slim frame that has potential for more velo with added size. Gave his lineup the chance to hang.
