OF Chase Vargo (Fremd, 2025) took one of the day’s more polished BP rounds. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound junior gets on top of the baseball from a short, simple, and direct right-handed swing. Vargo was all over the barrel to the middle of the field, and he stayed on plane too (90%) while seemingly repeating the same swing on each individual hack.
