Kolton Christie, Frenship (TX), 2026
Positional Profile: C/OF RHH/C… good build to add strength in future. Shows athleticism, solid mover. Received well in workout, quickness to release. Raw arm strength is fringe, pop times will be solid avg in future in games. Nice bat/power combo in future with opportunities for adjustments present.
Body: 6-1, 181-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Solid build in future.
Hit: RHH. Toe tap stride, lands in good position to hit with some length to stride. Linear movement to back foot which helps getting lower 1/2 involved in swing with length of stride. Would like to more linear movement forward to increase use of lower 1/2 in swing. Starts hitting into firm front side, recommend working to keep front foot firm into ground, rolls over early losing ability to continue to hit off firm front costing some ability to impact baseball. Tilts over hip at contact, would like to see little more upright, tilt creates some uphill path to swing. With all the criticism…does find baseball with barrel. Hands/barrel in good launch position. Hands work down slightly before moving forward, barrel works fine. Work to take hands directly towards baseball. Lots of fly ball contact created by tilt over hip creating uphill path. 61.4 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 79.0 mph. 335' max distance. Solid bat/power combo with upside. Opportunities for adjustments present, finds baseball with barrel. Lot more to come for this bat.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Arm works, throws some carry. Solid release setting to throw.
Defense: 1.92-2.05 pop times. Receives well, hands work, nice exchange glove to hand for throwing. Feet work well setting to throw.
ATH: 7.37 runner in the 60. Runs hard, can improve some..runs with head back and upright.
Vizual Edge: 50.73 Edge Score
