A 6-foot, 195-pound all around athlete that can impact the game on both sides of the ball, LHP/OF Christian Niederwerder (Blue Valley, 2026) is a two-way standout that impressed our staff in Saturday’s look. At the plate, the junior used a quick, rotational swing that stayed on plane through the zone to spray line drives to the pullside throughout his round of BP, posting a peak exit velocity of 92.8 mph on the day. Defensively, he showed arm strength (T83 mph) and reliable actions from the outfield while also running a 7.00 60 to pair. To wrap up the day, Neiderwerder hopped on the mound, topping out at 81.2 mph with his fastball and commanding a curveball/changeup mix for strikes.
