Team Arizona: Henry Chabot
July 29, 2020
'22 C/RHP Henry Chabot from Brophy College Prep joins Team Arizona for the 2020 PBR Future Games.
2022 C/RHP Henry Chabot (Brophy College Prep)- Chabot has been on the PBR radar for almost a year now, having first seen him compete in a tournament during the fall season of 2019. He stood out as a high upside defensive catching prospect. Today, he shows some of the same upside behind the plate in a strong 6-foot 200-pound build, showing solid flexibility from a player of that size with a naturally strong arm. He continues to progress with the bat with natural pop to pull-side while adding some more body control. As of late, Chabot is also showing some versatility as a two-way player. At our recent 2022 Top Prospect Games, he showed some ability on the mound working his FB 83-86mph. We are excited to have Chabot as a member of #TEAMARIZONA for the 2020 PBR Future Games.
