Showed a 3-pitch mix of FB (T85), CB (T72), and CH (T76). Worked in all 3 pitches really well and got a lot of weak contact leading to outs. Intriguing uncommitted follow.

CB has a 12-6 shape and the SL is tight. Impressive uncommitted follow.

CJ Chatterton (’24,MD) Dig In Baseball National - Physical 5’10” 170lb frame. One of the most impressive all-around players this weekend. The George Mason Commit has been really impressive at the plate tallying a number of XBH and RBIs in 2 games. Has good hands through the zone and plus bat speed. Has consistently found barrels and showed off his pop hitting a couple of balls off the fences this weekend. Smooth MIF that is fundamentally sound with quick hands and a good arm.

Ryan Rey (’25,MD) Dig In Baseball National - Stocky strong frame at 5’10” 165lbs. Really smooth middle infielder with a good arm from both SS and 2B. Showed off his range making a couple of nice backhanded plays up the middle. At the plate, he has a compact swing and keeps the bat through the zone nicely. Showed some pop-barreling one up to the CF fence for a triple. Good uncommitted follow.

Works out of a low 3/4 arm slot with a whipping arm motion. Displayed a 2 pitch arsenal of FB and SL. He worked his FB up to 91 locating it well and his SL up to 79 with a tight break. His FB has good arm side run, his SL has a high spin rate and he likes to work it back door.

Ethan Hsu (’25,MD) DMV Prospects 2025 Showcase - Nice frame at 5’10” 150lbs that will fill out. At the plate, he has shown a good approach and the ability to consistently go to the opposite field.
