Unsigned Senior Spotlight: C/INF Chase Sutherland
March 17, 2025
The winter schedule has come to a close as players are now beginning to get their season's underway. The 2025 preseason showcase schedule featured the first-ever Hawaii Preseason Invitational which was an eight-team tournament to open up the year that saw all positional players run through a pro-style workout alongside our tech partners, while we also collected updated TrackMan pitching data on all arms during gameplay.
Our staff had eyes on over 100 players and with the season finally here, there is still a ton of quality uncommitted talent still on the board in Hawaii's senior class. Over the next couple weeks, our staff will begin highlighting some of these names who need to be on the radar of college coaches looking to roundout their 2025 class.
We continue our Top Uncommitted Senior Spotlight Series with '25 C/INF Chase Sutherland of Saint Louis School. Sutherland is the 24th-ranked senior in Hawaii and represented the State at the West Coast Games this past October.
Scouting Report
6-01/182, DI body with DI tools. Put on a loud show in wood BP at Hawaii Fall Showcase, 96 EV and hammered balls high and deep over-the-fence on a damp night at CORP. Kurt Suzuki told Sutherland at West Coast Games to be more aggressive early and that new approach should enable Sutherland to jump on good pitches early and improve his game offensively. Quality defender who works behind plate, 1.88 pop-time is his best, consistently in the 1.90-1.95 range and wants to improve defensively. Sutherland posseses all the ingredients for a DI catcher.
