Chatham was the Red Sox 2nd Round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft.

Position : SS
Age: 22
Height : 6' 4"
Weight: 185

Playing 27 games last year for Lowell, Chatham hit .259/.319/.426 with 19 RBI. He started out slowly but finished strong. All accounts are that he held his own in the field.

Chatham was also a pitcher with 96 mph heat. He went undrafted out of high school. In college he improved his swing mechanics and pitch recognition.

He should start the year in Greenville.

He lost most of his 2017 season to injury. He was considered a top 10 prospect in the farm system going into last year and his stock had slipped quite a bit.

He's absolutely raking to start the year in Greenville which has been really encouraging to see. He's slashing .440/.464/.560 with 7 runs scored, 5 RBI and a stolen base.

Hoping to see him in Portland eventually this year
