Chase Bays, Marian (MI), 2024 Eastern Illinois Positional Profile: SS/RHP Body: 6-0, 190-pounds. Athletic build w/ strength. Hit: RHH. Starts in a tall, relaxed stance. Slow-tempo load that allows for stretch to be created - compact load with short stride. Bat comes thru the zone on a slightly upward path to match plane. Advanced bat speed allows for present gap-to-gap strength. Power: 97 max exit velocity, averaged 81.7 mph. 316' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-80 mph. Short, quick arm action from a 3/4 arm slot. Defense: Feet work under control & on-time with the catch. Sure handed defender with feel for a quick release. Solid actions overall. ATH: 7.25 runner in the 60.

Bays has hit in every look we’ve had this season and showed off one of the top overall hit-tools at TPG. An athletic, 6-foot, 190 pounder with strength - Bays uses a small, toe-tap stride with a controlled load that allows him to create explosive bat speed in a tight window. The bat speed allows Bays to really impact the baseball (98+ EV) and his above-average foot-speed (6.93) only adds to his exciting offensive profile. In the infield, Bays offers big arm strength across the diamond (88 mph) to go along with instincts on the dirt.
