6-foot-1, 220-pound frame, strong, barrel chest build, strong lower half. Start far left on rubber, clean, quick delivery, some effort, drop and drive type, level throughout. On-line stride, soft, slightly closed landing foot, falls slightly to 1B line. Long, loose arm action, high ¾ arm slot. Uses a three pitch mix: FB, CB, CH. Fastball, sat 81-82, straight, downhill action, locates well. Curveball, 62-64 mph, slower arm action, 11/5 shape, stays down in the zone, some bit. Changeup, 71-72 mph, circle change, sink and fade, slows down arm, locates well, above average feel. 

6-foot-1 220. Christian is a broad shouldered, thick lower half right-handed pitcher. He has nice mechanics and moves freely throughout his delivery, creating good drive down the mound. What was most impressive about Christian's outing was the tempo he worked at, usually less than eight seconds between pitches. His fastball,76-79, though lacking velocity was made up for with good in out location. Christian showed a nice complementary change up,66-68, which at times had almost a split action for swing and miss.

2/10/19 - Thick, 6-foot, 220, Dijkman is a wide body right-hander with a short arm and solid extension out front. He maintains a short stride and tends to spin off his front side, but repeats and throws a lot of strikes.  He is a three-pitch mix with a present feel for the bottom of the zone which will allow him to compete. His fastball was up to 76, while the breaking ball came in low 60s. The changeup displayed solid speed differential of 8-10 mph.  Dijkman impressed with his ability to fill up the bottom of the zone with 3 pitches.
