Chafin was selected out of Kent State.
Being a lefty with good velocity and size, Chafin is a shoe-in for any MLB bullpen, but, if he works on his off-speed pitches, Chafin could very well become a starting pitcher.
With fellow draft pick Trevor Bauer signed and already working his way through the system, it would be surprising to see Chafin hold out for much longer.
