03/18/2012 - College PREP - Plainview (Lubbock), TX Chris is a solid and athletic looking two-way player that will graduate in 2014. Defensively, he shows a good first step to the ball, active feet to both sides and he is aggressive to the ball. He made consistently accurate throws across the diamond and showed proper footwork on the double play turn. He needs to stay fluid through the play and keep his feet moving toward his target without standing straight up to throw. This will help smooth out his exchange and develop more carry on his throws. At the plate, he has a solid pre-pitch load, good balance and he shows the ability to hit the ball to all fields. He can get more use out of his lower half by driving his back hip to the ball which will help develop more bat speed through the zone. On the mound, he shows a deliberate delivery with a quick arm action and is in-line to his target. He throws a fastball in the upper 70's with command to go along with a decent curveball. He needs to try and develop a better feel for his changeup. Overall he has good mechanics and some arm strength for his age.
