Baseball + FTRS

Still in the game.

Professional experience, applied to the next generation through Futures Training Center and the baseball community.

The game

Chase spent 12 years in professional baseball and played for six Major League clubs. Primarily a middle infielder, he expanded into a super-utility role in the latter half of his MLB career, playing every position except catcher, including time on the mound.

The broader role demanded a more deliberate approach to preparation. He learned to plan his work, use time wisely and seek the right expertise. Those habits now inform his approach to athlete development and business.
