On a team composed of strong academic athletes, Chasen Ford might have more athletic and academic balance than any. He dominated both on the field and in the classroom as a senior at El Toro High in Lake Forest, CA. Ford went 20-3 with a 1.17 ERA on the hill alongside academic excellence awards in math, science and history. And his well-rounded skill set has him pitching for Yale.

A 6’3” freshman this season, Ford made nine starts and went 3-4 with 32 strikeouts compared to just 20 free passes. He threw a quality start in his collegiate debut at national powerhouse, LSU. He went 6.1 inning and surrendered just two runs in that one. And soon after won his first game against Bucknell. His best start, however, came against Cornell when he scattered two hits over six strong innings, but earned a no-decision.
