02/19/2017 - National Tryout Plus - Sugar Land (Houston), TX Chris is a versatile 2019 SS/C prospect with good athleticism on the field. He is a smooth defender at short with the range and arm strength to anchor the infield and make the tough plays. He is agile moving to both sides to field in a low, square position to the ball with soft hands to make plays cleanly. He plays through the ball, creating good throwing angles and showing quick hands to transfer and release to turn fast DP's and get rid of the ball to first. He looks to drive the ball to the middle of the field with a direct path, keeping his hands inside the ball. He is smooth to swing with good balance and has a quick bat to make consistent contact to all fields. Behind the dish, he shows an athletic setup with the agility to move laterally to block and receive. He works around the ball on the outer half to earn extra strikes for his pitcher. A faster exchange and release will lead to lower pop times moving forward. Chris is an interesting prospect we look forward to continue watching.
