    Chatfield certainly passes the eye test. Listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he has a long, lean, athletic frame and a lefthanded swing to boot. Yet Chatfield has been an enigma. His loose, quick swing generates good bat speed and he has big raw power that scouts can dream on. But he's been inconsistent at the plate and has a lot of swing-and-miss in his game. Chatfield is a slightly above-average runner with an average arm, a combination that likely would make him a left fielder as a professional. While Chatfield has been a tough player for scouts to figure out this spring, he is still poised to become the first player from Spoto High to be drafted and could go high enough to keep him away from South Florida, where he is committed.
