Steady lefty arm giving ACU quality innings
In the 2026 season, Chase Batten has been used as a reliable bullpen left-hander for Abilene Christian, with the Wildcats repeatedly turning to him in key spots and getting scoreless work in games against Texas Tech and Tarleton State. The clearest differentiator here is trust: he’s not just eating innings, he’s helping close doors, and that matters. At the high-school level, he was ranked among Texas pitching leaders and entered college as a polished LHP, which fits a team looking for poise, matchup value, and a calm arm under pressure.
