Offensive Projection: Shows good raw power. Downhill bat path minimizes his gap to gap abilities and power potential. Needs to get his bat path more on plane with the pitch to maximize his power.

Offensive Projection: Has some natural lift to the swing that will help potentially get more out of his raw power. Could be a guy who develops into somewhat of a power threat if he adds strength to his frame.

A righty swinger that starts in an athletic setup. Loading sequenced is synced well, incorporating athletic movements, Launches from a balanced setup with swing showing natural loft through the zone. A middle of the lineup type bat with well above average natural tools through the zone. His ability to lift the ball naturally make him a regular extra base hit threat. Middle of the lineup skill set.
Home to 1st: 4.66
Exit Velocity: 77

A right-handed bat that starts in a balanced setup. Hands show a slight back load prior to accelerating barrel through the zone on an uphill path. Uses a leg kick for energy/timing with lower half. A strong kid with bat speed in there. Would be aided by leveling out path to create a bit more consistent ball flight. Middle of the lineup potential. In the outfield he plays low and under control in his approach. Gets rid of it quickly, showing accuracy to throws. Arm strength is adequate and looks to have more in there.

Home to 1st: 4.62
Outfield Velocity: 75
Exit Velocity: 79

6-foot, 180 pound outfielder showed an average glove defensively while improving on taking greater momentum through the ball up to his release point. Footwork is still developing with angles taken to the ball more efficiently. Showed nice arm strength at 72 mph with accuracy to home plate. At the plate he uses a leg kick for timing and creates rhythm with the barrel through a bat tip movement. Actions are athletic and create energy. Offers an above average combination of strength and speed to hands through the zone. A present gap threat with much more pop than exit velocity would indicate.

60-yard dash: 7.58
Infield Velocity: 70
Outfield Velocity: 72
Exit Velocity: 79

6-foot, 175 pound prospect showed a level bat path making a good contact on most pitches throughout his round. His back elbow was stiff at times preventing him from getting into a strong slot position. Just needs to relax it to create more fluidity and whip of his barrel in the zone. Christman’s lower half worked well in his outing producing an 82 mph exit velocity. In the outfield his glove looked good but needs to focus on fielding the ball off to his side rather than in front as he makes his throws home. He already does a good job of taking momentum into his throws but getting to the side of it will only increase his throwing velocity of 72 mph. He’s young and already has a good frame to him. Expect abilities to improve as he continues to grow.
