LHP Allen Chorba (Oswego East, 2024) is an uncommitted southpaw to know in the state. Listed at a projectable 6-foot-3, 195-pounds, long-levered. Low ¾, almost sidearm slot, creating natural sink on his 77-81 mph fastball. His go-to secondary offering was a sweeping slider at 71-73 mph, thrown for some strikes and to put hitters away. Loose and easy-flowing body with some funk in his delivery, paired with his low slot makes him a tough look for opposing hitters.
