BLUE VALLEY NORTH VS. BLUE VALLEY NORTHWEST

Joe Chaffin, OF, Blue Valley North, 2026
Cloud County CC signee. 6-foot-1, 195-pound athlete. Chaffin has long been a consistent producer at the top of the Mustangs' order over the past few seasons and delivered once again in this look in a big spot for the Mustangs, unloading on the first pitch he saw in the fifth inning and hammering a game-tying, two-run home run out to right field. He already shows pull-side juice from a rhythmic left-handed swing, with present strength and room for more still to come.
