Chavez displayed tremendous power at the plate, notching three doubles, a triple and a home run en route to a 1.364 slugging percentage. He hit safely in all three games and tallied three hits in each of the Knights’ wins against Palm Beach Atlantic. In addition, he recorded a .667 on-base percentage and a clean sheet in the field.
