11/08/2012 - Baseball Factory Training & Competition at Pirate City Chris is a small built SS/RHP that will graduate in 2016. Defensively, he worked well getting around ground balls, fielding through the ball and throwing accurately with a consistent release. His exchange on double-play balls is clean and fluid. Footwork/agility drills, pre-pitch footwork, earlier glove presentation, and implementing a throwing program would be beneficial to his defensive game. On the mound, he throws two pitches, a fastball that has some arm side fade and a curve-ball with 11/5 shape. He is able to repeat his delivery, throw strikes consistently with his fastball and curve-ball, at times. Getting more extension, and getting to a more consistent balance point will be a good first step in improving pitching ability. Offensively, he has an ability to make contact, but needs to continue working on a consistent stride/load and finishing his swing with a through lower-half. Overall, the young two-way player has time to grow and improve to make himself a potential prospect in within the next couple years.
