He extends through the zone upon release and keeps a square direction to his target. Christian could see more accuracy by finishing strong in his follow through. Christian shows a FB and CB in his arsenal and will see added velocity with natural growth and by implementing a long toss program. At the plate, Christian shows a spray, contact type approach. He shows an athletic set up with a square stride and a good hand load, creating separation. Christian has a smooth rhythm and a good center balance with a firm front half throughout his swing and a direct swing path to the ball.
