2017 Great Lakes Showcase
Chance Roach is a 2018 RHP/IF with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Countryside, IL who attends Nazareth Academy. Large frame with broad shoulders and athletic present build; good projection remaining. Ran 60 yard dash in 7.29 seconds. Primary righthanded pitcher. Deep plunge through the back to initiate arm stroke, tilts back over rubber and hides the ball well as a result, gets up to high three quarters and creates good downhill plane to the plate when on time. Fastball worked 78-82 mph and peaked at 83; good sinking life on the pitch when located down in the zone. Flashed curveball with 11/5 shape and gradual depth; showed good feel for his changeup in the low-70's; will occasionally cut the pitch to the glove side. Did well to pitch to contact and get quick outs. Sets up to hit from even, spread-based stance; shows good bat speed through the zone on lofted plane, good smoothness to swing, stays committed to the middle of the field and is able to drive the ball deep when on time. Named to 2017 Great Lakes Showcase Top Prospect List. Good student.
