Personal Statement

I am an upcoming senior who would love to further my academic career and also continue playing baseball in college. Baseball is my true passion.  I am working hard and training at RIP City Academy in Pittsfield, MA doing strength training and conditioning, the throwing clinic and hitting and fielding.  

I was always an infielder/pitcher when I was younger but now play center field in travel and left field in high school. I am a well-rounded player and able to play anywhere.  My strengths are my defense and speed.  I am continuously working on hitting and feel that I am in the groove right now.

He made accurate throws from a 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 83mph. At the plate he hits from an athletic and square stance with comfortable hands.

In the OF, defensive abilities are now well above average as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He needs to work to get behind balls and play through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his foot quickness in covering a lot of ground. At 2B, defensive abilities are well above average as he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he works around ball and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and presents out front. Throws are accurate with carry (83 mph exit velocity) to his target. At the plate, he shows an athletic, crouched setup. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn.

  • 11/10/2024 - National Showcase - Marlborough (Boston), MA Chase is a versatile outfielder and right-handed pitcher from Pittsfield, MA, who is part of the 2025 graduating class. As an outfielder, he showcases quick feet and aggressive angles, displaying strong body control and a clean exchange off his left foot. His ability to create momentum allows him to generate strong throws with excellent carry, with his arm velocity reaching up to 86 mph. At the plate, Chase starts in an upright stance and uses a smooth hand separation to generate fast bat speed. He consistently drives line drives into both gaps during batting practice, demonstrating excellent barrel control and an approach with intent. On the mound, Chase stands out with his loose, quick arm action and solid mechanics. He separates his hands on time, maintaining a controlled landing and square alignment to his target. His fastball shows plus command, and he rounds out his arsenal with a curveball and changeup, making him a well-rounded pitcher. With another season of growth and development, Chase is poised to continue refining his skills and making strides both at the plate and on the mound.
