Uncommitted Spotlight: 2022 Chase Ingram


Rocco Iervasi
PBR Florida Director of Operations/Area Scout

This spring we will be highlighting players throughout the state with Uncommitted Spotlights. We will highlight one 2022, 2023, and 2024 player each week looking for a school to call home. The state of Florida is full of uncommitted players who have the talent to play at the next level. These players deserve as much exposure as they can get in order to help them find the right home.

Today, we will highlight 2022 Chase Ingram. Chase is a 6-foot-3, 215 pound 1B/RHP from IMG Academy. Originally from California, Chase plays travel ball with the NorCalU. We were first introduced to Chase at the 2021 Florida ProCase. Chase flashed power potential as the ball jumped off his bat with ease. Ingram has recorded a max exit velo of 102 mph at our events with 77.5 mph bat speed. Also a two-way, Ingram can run the fastball up to 89 mph. Playing on IMG's National team, Ingram should have plenty of eyes at his games this spring. Look for Ingram to be off the board soon and find a school to call home.
