02/17/2013 - College PREP - Middletown (Hartford), CT Chandler is a developing athlete. As a SS, she has a quick, accurate arm with carry on her ball, soft, sure hands, and quick, fluid footwork with agile range that enhances her athleticism on the field. For continued improvement, Chandler would benefit from working on her pre-pitch position (athletic set-up) and staying low through all plays (working down and through ground balls). As a hitter, she has a square, balanced set up, accelerated bat speed (fast hands), demonstrates patience in the box, and produces consistent contact. Continued focus on a short bat path, implementing a stride and load, and keeping the front-side closed will increase her power and ability to hit to all fields. With continued application and experience, Chandler will be on track for collegiate attention.
