Player Spotlight: 2022 RHP Chase Alderman

Long, projectable 6-foot-4, 178 pound frame. Loose arm action, high-3/4 slot. Frame/arm action combo should easily lead to additional velocity development. Fastball topped at 89 mph, worked in the 84-88 range with occasional ASR. Works fastball well to both sides of the plate. Has feel for spin on the breaking ball at 71-74 mph with sharp break. Fastball spin rate peaked at 2250 rpm while curveball spin rate peaked at 2458 rpm. Stuck with fastball/curveball mix in his effective two-inning stint vs Indiana at the PBR Future Games but has also shown previous ability to use an effective 76-79 changeup.
Summary: High-upside arm with very high ceiling. Receiving significant D1 interest after Future Games performance.
