The standout BP Session translated in game where he racked up a  pair of barreled line drives, one being a double to left-centerfield. Chappell also flashed improved defensive actions up the middle with progress in his lateral range as well as fluidity through the fielding process. This projects to be another big bat in Idaho's talented 2027 class.

Hiaring put his improved strength in his hands and forearms on display, proving he can handle velo and steal strikes as he works up through the ball. Progress in his flexibility and set up allow for a lower starting point in his set up and leads you to believe that he will continue to trend as a high level catcher in the coming years.
