Yankees‘ Pitching Prospect Chase Hampton Healthy and Ready for a Comeback
After an injury-plagued 2024, Yankees’ top pitching prospect Chase Hampton is back to full health and eager to make an impact. The 23-year-old right-hander, recovering from a flexor tendon strain and groin issues, has already thrown live batting practice and is heading into spring training with confidence.
Hampton, once ranked among baseball’s top 100 prospects, aims to prove his dominance on the mound. “One word: Dominate,” he said, emphasizing his command and ability to control the strike zone.
Despite limited action last season, Hampton remains a key part of the Yankees’ pitching depth. With a strong minor-league track record and a refined approach inspired by Clayton Kershaw, he hopes to climb the ranks and make his MLB debut in 2025.
