Chad LeVardi (‘27,NC) • 2B/OF • 5’4 128lb
Athletic frame and sets up with a narrow stance at the plate, showing a calm presence in the box. As the pitch comes in, he uses a low leg lift to stay controlled and connected, coiling into the back hip to keep him grounded and explosive. Once he commits, the swing is quick. He unwinds with fast hips and rotation, delivering the barrel with authority. On this particular swing, he catches it clean and drives a line drive double to the pull side, plating a run. It's a swing that blends balance, power, and intent.
