LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Atlantic Coast Underclass Showcase
Chad O'Connor is a 2008 RHP/3B from Western Branch HS in Chesapeake, VA with a 6'0", 175 lb. frame. Chad has a lean athletic build and was one of the top players at the showcase. He is a very polished right-handed pitcher with good feel for three pitches. He throws from a full delivery with a long loose arm action. Chad uses his lower half well and repeats his delivery consistently. His command is already above-average and his feel for pitching is extremely advanced for his age. While Chad did not work out at any position he showed good ability all over the field. He ran a 7.17 and showed he could swing the bat as well. He has a smooth fundamental swing with good balance and solid bat speed. His batting practice was very solid and he could possibly be a two-way player in college. Chad has made a very early verbal committment to the University of Virginia and could see some draft attention when his senior year rolls around.
