RHP Avner Christian (Waterloo, 2028) stands in a hard-to-miss upside frame at 6-foot-1, 168-pounds. He’s a quick mover on the mound with clean, easy actions, and a compact arm path with clean acceleration out front. His fastball was up to 81.7 mph with mostly straight actions through the zone. His change-up has short fade with some depth at 72-73 mph, and he showed feel to work his curveball in the lower-half of the zone with 11/5 shape. Christian made his Prep Baseball showcase debut and left the event a name-to-follow in the state’s freshman class.
