Scouting Report

10/7/20

Christo has a strong, durable frame at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds. Loose and athletic delivery in his delivery, the Nebraska recruit gets good extension (7 feet or better). His fastball ranged from 87-92 with 2300+ rpm for Team Elite Black at the Upperclass Fall World Series. His slider was 77-82 with gyro spin at times, but it also flashed hard, late sweep. The changeup was 80-82. He struck out five and allowed just one hit in three innings.

8/01/20

Working down-the-hill, Christo came out pumping strikes, showing good athleticism and easy velo with his 90-93 mph fastball. With a large, strong frame at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds Christo has immense upside with a fluid delivery and clean arm action. The right-hander also flashed a short slider at 84 mph.

5/20/18: Nebraska Elite 50
6-foot-2, 185 pound right handed pitcher topped out at 82 mph with his fastball. Project-able frame with long limbs. Fastball was in the 78-82 mph range in his two innings of work. Uses leverage to get the ball on a downhill plane. 12/6 shape on 65-68 mph breaking ball, landed comfortably for strike. Avg feel for 68-69 mph change up with downward action.
