06.26.18 6-foot, 165-pound frame with budding strength. Chumley flashed some loud contact in BP, and flashed backspin carry to center field; 83 mph exit velo off the tee. Athletic stance, smooth load back into his back leg where he unlocks his back knee to get extra torque in his lower half, he has a low leg swing stride where he brings his front foot back past his midline before he strides, he relaxes his hands in his load down into a low hitting slot, and has a high finish that creates lift in his swing. Takes an aggressive hack and is strong at the point of contact. Fluid footwork at shortstop, closed distance to the ball with controlled aggression, working around and through the baseball with his body and momentum, quick and clean transfer and release. Accurate from various arm angles, 77 mph across the diamond, and plays balls according to his strengths (fluid footwork, and very quick release). Ran a 7.31 laser-timed 60.
07.25.17 Chumley first showed up at the Houston Area Open, earning an invite to the South Texas Underclass Games. He has a lean-athletic frame at 5-foot-11, 150-pounds. The right-handed hitter has an athletic, stacked setup. Smooth load back with good rhythm and a low leg kick into a short stride. Triggers his hands back and slightly down with a smooth load, creating good separation. Inside-out hand path, mostly flat path with barrel awareness. Solid approach during batting practice with hard, line-drive contact through the middle of the field (85 mph exit velo off the tee). Snaps the barrel through contact with a strong top hand, high finish and some effort in his weight transfer. At shortstop, Chumley has a quick, clean, mid-line exchange, soft hands out in front. Quick footwork after the catch into his ¾ arm stroke. Creates momentum to first base as he plays through the ball. Good feel for different arm slots as he plays on the run. During the game he made two outstanding plays. At second base, he ranged up the middle behind the bag and spun to throw the runner out at first base. He also made a nice run through play behind the mound on a high chopper. Overall Chumley is a projectable middle infielder with good feel and a projectable hitter.
