Chase
Porter

OF Chase Porter (Kearney, 2025) climbs into the top 10 after a breakout summer, rising a few spots and now sitting at ninth overall. Porter’s calling card is his speed and it’s something that he excels at, as he’s an elite runner that’s ran below a 6.50 60-yard dash at three different events this summer. His personal best mark came at the PBR Future Games with Team Select, where Porter absolutely jolted to a 6.43 time on our SWIFT lasers, including elite 10-yard (1.56) and 30-yard (3.60) splits to pair. A switch-hitter, Porter earned high praise from our Vice President of Scouting Shooter Hunt, who highlighted him in his ‘Future Games: Shooter’s Top Prospects’ piece:

“...is quickly raising his stock in this young class, and has already become a favorite of mine in the group. His quiet moxie is matched only by the in-game production, and the ability to drop a heavy barrel from both sides of the plate stands out, even against elite pitching. The gameplay will always be preeminent, but it was equally as impressive to watch Porter during workouts. He blazed a 6.43 60-yard dash time before delivering exit velocities into the mid 90s thanks to quick hands and quality bat speed. Over and over again this summer, however, it has always been the live action that sees Porter elevate his game, and the more that coaches get out to see him, the more they will want him in their program.”

OF Chase Porter (Kearney, 2025) is another name-to-know speedster in Missouri and he’s a top prospect in the state’s incoming sophomore class, too. Porter ran the fastest 60-yard dash of any prospect at this event, flying to a 6.50 time and 21.8 mph top speed - and he beat his own personal best time at the Future Games a few weeks later with a 6.43. A switch-hitter, Porter also peaked at 94.9 mph at the plate in BP.
