Tossed 4 shutout IP with sinking FB up to 97. Landed SL to LHH for swing/miss. FB: 92-96 T97 (2363) SL: 79-82 CH: 82-83
Our night cap featured an incredibly impressive arm with one of the highest ceilings in the class, if not the Midwest: Christian Oppor. Still uncommitted, Oppor routinely attacked hitters with his fastball through three innings at our PBR at The Rock 17u Championships, pumping it in at 89-93, touching 94 mph. With electric arm speed, advanced athleticism, and a projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame, Oppor’s potential is truly immense.
Oppor started the day by showcasing his elite arm strength in the outfield where four of his five throws home were clocked at 95 mph. But his real impact was made on the mound where he took that same arm strength to top out at 92 mph. It's an extremely live arm that is just scratching the surface of its capabilities. There’s excellent athleticism in his actions that should develop into harnessing a well-above-average three-pitch arsenal.
