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.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 170 pounds. Lean, long-levered frame with projection.
Hit: RHH. Tall, active setup with a wide base. Hands work back with a toe-tap trigger; weight shifts to back leg. Longer swing with uphill path; intent to lift. 68.5 mph bat speed with 17g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 86 mph max exit velocity (65.4 avg.); 308-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. OF - 86 mph. Loose arm from a ¾ slot; longer wind-up.
Defense: Athletic mover, plays through the ball, consistent transfers out of the glove.
Athletic Testing:20.70-inch max vertical jump.
Vizual Edge: 67.28 Edge Score.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 170 pounds. Lean, long-levered frame with projection.
Delivery: Quick, compact delivery. Athletic down the mound with heavy coil and clean operation.
Arm Action: RH. Loose arm with length from a ¾ slot.
FB: T82, 80-82 mph. Flatter profile with some arm-side life. T2019, 1885 average rpm.
CB: 68-69 mph. Slurvy 11/5 shape; feel for the zone. T1968, 1881 average rpm.
CH: 72-73 mph. Fade and depth; complements the fastball. T1683, 1548 average rpm.
