Coach Corbin Quote: Chase has been a mainstay on our staff since his freshman year. We have given Chase the ball in many tight situations and he has responded well – he enjoys pitching with the game on the line. He has pitched in various roles because of his versatility and array of pitches, but could be used as a starter this coming year. He will be a key factor to our success this spring.
