Chester

6.05.18
Chester has an already projectable frame for a rising freshman at 6-foot-3, 185-pounds. The right-handed hitter starts from a neutral stance, and uses a quick load as he strides forward and triggers his hands, creating good separation. Lands balanced, good energy in his lower half, rotational swing with strength in the barrel, high finishes with snap in his hands, flashes pull side pop with an exit velocity of 84 mph. At first base, Chester has quickish footwork using short, choppy steps to create rhythm through the ball. Solid arm strength for his class, with a long arm stroke and top velocity of 79 mph. A two-way player and right-handed pitcher, Chester has rhythm and tempo throughout a drop and drive delivery with good hip turn at the top of his balance point. Works from a high-¾ slot with a long arm stroke. His fastball was 74-77. His curveball had 12/6 rotation with good depth at 63 mph. Changeup was 59-62, and he shows feel for his slider at 69 mph with 10/4 lateral shape.
