On the infield he’s an athletic mover with sure-handed actions, showcasing timing and confidence in his hands. 6.89 runner in the 60.

Uncommitted. Athletic 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame that played second base during the game. Clark contributed on both sides of the ball in Top Tier’s 7-4 win Friday morning. Defensively, displayed range to both sides with the ability to throw off balance from multiple arm angles, collecting a pair of putouts. Offensively, he has a high leg kick, efficient load, balanced lower half, and opposite field approach, smoking a two-RBI opposite field double in the second inning, putting his team up 4-0 at the time. A speedy and smooth moving player to monitor over the next year.

INF Christian Clark (St. Rita, 2025) is a natural on the infield and continues to tick up everytime we get our eyes on him. The 5-foot-11, 160-pound, long-levered, projectable middle infielder is a smooth, fluid mover, gliding to a 7.12 60. He also moves with ease and body control on the infield, playing on the move with all kinds of comfort and an athletic arm action that can play from all different platforms. Clark has the actions and arm (85 mph) to stick on the left-side of the diamond at the next level. The right-handed hitter is also fluid and repeatable in the box, routinely living on the barrel with a line-drive approach. Another prospect who’s best years seem to be ahead of him.
