Chase Vallot, c, St. Thomas, Youngsville, La./Marucci Elite - The 6-foot, 200-pound Vallot has a compact,
physical build and muscular lower half. He has a strong arm capable of pop
times in the 1.9-2.0 second range. His hands and receiving skills are
developing. With a wide base and minimal stride, the strong-bodied backstop
produces good raw power. The Mississippi State recruit has good athleticism for
the position and has posted average running times to first base. Vallot is one
of the youngest players in the class and will not turn 18 until the end of the
minor league season next year. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

Prospects For 2014 Draft - 19. Chase Vallot, C, St. Thomas More HS (LA) -
6'0/205, R/R, Draft Day Age: 17.79, Mississippi State commit, Full Report -
Quick Take: Vallot is just five days older than Forbes in the competition for
youngest player in the class and also brings a lot of tools to the table. He
has an ability to stick behind the plate with an above average arm and a
powerful, sturdy frame that already generates average raw power with a good mix
of bat speed and strength. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html

Mississippi State - Scouting Notes: 2013 USA Tournament of Stars notes
from Don Olsen: Chase is thick compact athletic build in an Austin Romine type
mold. His swing has a little load and drops a tad early, leaving him a little
long, but good bat speed to work with down the line. The swing has a line drive path with a bit of
loft. He has a patient approach that shows the plate coverage to work gap to
gap type production, may show above average power. Defensively, he shows a
clean set up, quite footwork, high caliber receiver. Chase possesses a strong arm with quick
transfer that already POP sub http://bigleaguefutures.net/1/2013/08/22/2014-mlb-draft-profile-chase-vallot/
8-15-13 - Under Armour All-Star
Game – Chase Vallot, C: If the Cubs
can't land Jackson or feel like he can't stick at catcher, Vallot is the next
best prep option. There's a lot to like
about Vallot, starting with a strong arm and great pop times (1.92 seconds)
though like most H.S. catchers, he still needs work on his receiving
skills. Vallot has a strong build and
should hit for power and as a bonus, is a pretty good athlete. He's someone the Cubs could certainly be
interested in if he lasts to their second pick -- but Vallot also has a chance
to shoot up higher into the first round with a good season. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/08/2014-mlb-draft-ua-game-roster-and-preview-plus-more-tickets-and-meet-up-information/

Cleveland Indians — Chase Vallot, C, St. Thomas More HS (LA) One of the
youngest players in the draft, the 6’-0”, 205-pound right-hander generates a
ton of raw power due to his bat speed and strong wrists. His strong arm, size
and footwork should allow him to stick at a premium position and he also has
pretty good speed. Another player I got to see at Wrigley, he hit a couple
bombs out of the park with ease and showed a polished approach at the plate
during the game. Committed to Mississippi State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-mock-draft-2-0-draft-order-set/38280#5E3F5j1jWOgE69bJ.99

due to his bat speed and strong wrists. His strong arm, size and footwork could
allow him to stick at a premium position but many believe a move to a corner
