LHP Samuel Chin (St. Laurence, 2026) is an upside arm to know in the state’s 2026 class. Currently ranked No. 53 in the state while standing in at a trim and long-levered 6-foot, 148-pounds. Chin has consistently shown to be a clean and easy mover down the mound paired with a long, clean arm from a low ¾ slot. His fastball sat 80-82 mph (avg. 2312 rpm) with ride (avg. 18.2” IVB) and arm-side run (avg. -13.6” HM). He then showed above average feel for a sweeping-curve at 68-69 mph (avg. 2583 rpm), while also mixing in a 68-70 mph slider (avg. 2635 rpm) with 17” of horizontal movement on average. Chin then rounded out his mix with a 74-76 mph changeup that flashed out-pitch potential with heavy arm-side fade (avg. -16.9” HM). A name to continue to follow moving into the summer months.

LHP Samuel Chin (St. Laurence) is a highly intriguing 6-foot, 148-pound southpaw with much more in the tank. He has an easy, simple delivery in which he can repeat with ease, pairing with a loose/whippy arm from a ¾ release. His fastball plays easy out of the hand with natural run in the 79-81 mph range (T2483 rpm), filling up the zone with ease. He has an innate feel to spin the breaking ball, with his curveball playing with sharp 1/7 action and over 2,600 rpm - while his slider plays with more lateral movement around 2,500 rpm, both with feel for the zone. He kills spin on his changeup and can land it around the zone, playing at 75-77 mph with similar run to his fastball. High-ceiling southpaw with his best days still ahead.

There’s plenty to like on the mound with LHP Samuel Chin (St. Laurence, 2026), starting with the 5-foot-11, 148-pound southpaw’s ability to spin a breaking ball. He consistently landed a 68-70 mph breaking ball for strikes that averaged 2624 RPM, peaking at 2723 RPM. Being able to spin the baseball at a high rate is typically an indicator of future velocity and it’s something we’re personally expecting from Chin, who’s fastball currently sits at 82-83 mph. Additionally, Chin’s changeup showed heavy horizontal movement at peak (T17.7”) at 78-79 mph.

LHP Samuel Chin (St. Laurence, 2026) gave one of the more fluid looks on the mound over the weekend. There’s all kinds of ease, athleticism and fluidity in his movement on the mound, and he pairs that with a clean and quick arm path out of a ¾ slot. Chin’s fastball sat 81-83 mph with slight arm-side run. His curveball sat 67-70 mph, spinning it at an average of 2624 rpm, and his changeup sat 77-78 mph with -14.9 inches of average horizontal movement.

Chin was an impressive arm for the eventual championships of this tournament. The southpaw showcased an easy, almost effortless delivery that created fastballs in the low 70’s. As for his offspeed, he threw a survey type breaker and changeup that flashed hard running action. Standing at a lanky 5-foot-8, 130 pounds, and with an already solid pitching repertoire, Chin’s projectability is legitimate.
