Chase
Vrabel

Physical: Large / projectable 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame with strength throughout. 7.25 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH. Wide, open stance with the hands starting high next to the ear with the barrel pointed downward over the backside. Utilized a toe-tap stride while staying connected into the backside on the forward move to initiate the hands through a flat barrel path with lift immediately after contact. Showed a strong top hand with feel for the barrel in the box, used the pull-side primarily during batting practice with ability to stay inside the inner half pitch. Hit into a stiff front side while getting relatively tall in the posture at impact. Recorded a peak bat-exit velocity of 89 mph according to Trackman Baseball with an impressive 36% line drive rate during his round. A 20.20 mph top hand speed per Blast Motion showed his quickness in terms of time to contact. 

Defensively: The primary first baseman featured a medium-low center of gravity with active footwork, showed adequate rhythm in the approach with feel around the bag, fielded off of the right side of his body and got directional towards the target, accurate high ¾ slot across the diamond from a short arm circle. INF - 65 mph
