Name To Know

Anthony Chavez 1B / OF / Mount Carmel, IL / 2026

From 7/22/25: “2025 Senior Future Games: 1B Anthony Chavez (Mount Carmel, 2026) came into this week as one of the top uncommitted left-handed bats in the state and has done nothing but elevate that status. He took one of the loudest rounds of the day with a 103.8 mph peak EV, working on the barrel routinely with five balls hammered over 102 mph. His BLAST metrics were off the charts, averaging 23.7 mph for his hand-speed and 81.3 mph for his bat-speed, also averaging 27.5 G for his rotational acceleration. The hit tool is very evident, but he also features a smooth glove at first base with feel for the position and natural actions. A 6.88 runner in the 60 to pair, Chavez will be a name to circle and follow throughout the rest of the week.”
