Gavin Chakar (‘28, CT) 🔋 • 6’3 195
Loud outing tonight w/ some truly electric stuff. Fluid controlled actions on the mound, sinks well into his back hip and fires it ceanly. Accelerates his arm quickly through lay back. High RPM and outlier EXT helps the FB play even firmer. Advanced feel for his age with the power CB that he snapped off for strikes with ease.
FB: 92 / 2600rpm / 7’11 EXT
CB: 82 / 2280rpm/ -9.2 IVB / -6.7 HB / 7:15 Tilt
Oozes projectability as he still has a lot of room to fill out his lanky 6’3 frame. Truly some of the most electric stuff in the country in the 2028 class. A surefire name to keep an eye on over the next few years.
