Cooper Trinkle
Lead Scout

As we head into the fall, we are beginning to see tons of 2024 graduates make commitments to play at the next level. Indiana's 2024 class features a deep crop of talent, with plenty of prospects still left on the board. Today, we take a deeper look at '24 UTL Christian Klug of Bishop Chatard HS.

 

Christian Klug SS / OF / Bishop Chatard, IN / 2024

A player who has seen his stock significantly rise after a breakout junior campaign - Klug offers a versatile profile with multiple tools that will help him excel at the college level. The speedy, 5-foot-11, 178 pounder's feet impact the game and he consistently turned in 4.2 - 4.25 H-1st times from the right-handed batter's box throughout the summer. Klug has an athletic build with lean strength that helps him generate bat speed and is leading to developing gap-to-gap power as he continues to mature, especially when combined with his impressive bat-to-ball skills. Klug uses a controlled gather to the top of a leg kick stride and controls his forward move with a quiet head throughout the operation, which allows him to stay behind the baseball and create true spin to all parts of the field. A versatile defender - Klug's foot-speed & athleticism allows him to range in the outfield and he also has the ability to play second base with above-average infield actions.
