View Draft Report
Righthander Chance Chapman has had a pair of spectacular strikeout performances, fanning 17 against Arkansas and 19 against Centenary. The Mid-Continent Conference pitcher of the year, he entered the NCAA regionals ranked third in Division I in both ERA (1.23) and strikeouts per nine innings (12.4)--eight spots ahead of teammate Jeremy Hefner (11.6) in the latter category. Chapman's strikeout pitch is a big league slider, and he also has an 88-91 mph fastball with life. When he commands his fastball, he's tough to hit. Chapman's age works against him, as he's 23 after spending three years at Cuesta (Calif.) Junior College and missing all of 2004 with an injury.
