East Carolina commit. Perhaps the most complete player of the tournament this weekend was 2027 SS and East Carolina commit Chandler Hill. The RHH has a keen eye at the plate laying off of tough pitches and doing damage with pitches in the zone. He hits from a relatively even base with limited pre pitch movement. Chandler used all parts of the field to hit hard, backspun line drives. The 6’0” 165 pound frame is intriguing because there is a lot of room for him to get stronger. Defensively, Chandler was nearly flawless and was making difficult plays look easy all weekend. The range and arm strength immediately stand out. Chandler was able to get to balls deep in the 6 hole and had enough arm strength to make strong, accurate throws. The internal clock and instincts are what also set him apart. Being able to go to his right, left, or come in at ease is why you can project that he can stay at the shortstop position beyond high school. One of the more polished players in his class.
