Christopher
Skermo

Sleek fielding middle infielder continues to grow his game. Hitting from a spread but balanced stance, Skermo displayed a line drive stroke to all fields. Safe to say baseball is his priority as he rushed from batting practice to his first round playoff football game. An uncommitted senior that is a proven gamer and will be a steal for whomever picks him up.

Observed Chris at Bloomsburg University (PA) tournament where he played 2B/3B and showed the ability to handle left and right side infield positions with ease. No panic to his game on the infield, very steady and calm. Line drive approach stayed true with wood bats.

Athletically built at 5-foot-10 162 pounds, Skermo had some respectable measurable numbers running a 7.16 60, 4.44 Home to 1B, positional velocity of 74 MPH and exit velocity of 78 MPH. Offensively- Skermo hits from a spread stance, starting with a flat bat angle that he draws up during his load. Gains some ground on his stride which could be pulling him to far apart with lower half. Stays behind the ball well and gets good lower half rotation. Shows good balance through contact and extension with a high finish. Line drive results. Defensively- Middle infield actions coupled with a quick release. Feet stay moving, allowing for a proper setup, uses a short shuffle during release. May need to step behind and be more aggressive here for left side throws. More in the tank velocity wise and his approach is to have the ball out quick. Soft hands and throws stayed online. Athletic and runs well enough to handle some OF if needed. Fourth team All-State selection for Class B.
