Lean athlete at 5-foot-9, 155 pounds. Christensen continues to display a balanced skill-set with a consistent all around game. At the plate, the actions remain relaxed and balanced throughout, allowing his hands to work easily and deliver a fluid, whippy barrel thru the zone. Sprayed the ball from gap to gap, showing a contact type approach. Never got too long or extended in his upper half, remained quick and compact. Also showed a jump in exit velo from what we saw in Feb. Defensively he remains a natural defender in the INF with solid actions and body control. Stays light on his feet moving to the ball with a soft glove hand. Minimal footwork during exchange into throwing motion. Short, compact arm action with extension as he finishes out front at release. Handles double play feeds easily while adjusting release as needed.
5-foot-9, 150 pounds with a rounded upper half and wiry strength. Sets up in the box with slight bend in his back-leg in a balanced, athletic posture. Knee stays below waist height on his controlled leg lift. Short forward move into stride. Upper half stays relaxed and bent, allowing for a tight, compact swing path. ‘Hitterish’ actions in the box that consistently sync up together and allow his barrel to be on time. Full hip rotation thru contact. Showcased at both 3B and SS. Actions and movement should allow him to stick in the INF long-term with the flexibility to float around to different positions. Keeps body control while moving laterally with clean footwork. Got rid of the ball quickly on his back-hand opportunities, showing a feel for understanding the speed of the game. Keeps rhythm throughout fielding process. Hands work easily as he re-aligns lower half towards target. Manipulated arm slot as needed with clean, loose arm action. Ball flight stays true out of hand. Showed accuracy on throws across the diamond while on the move.
