Uncommitted Spotlight: '21 Christian Dijkman
June 12, 2020
A trim Christian Dijkman made his summer debut yesterday for Bases Loaded Elite down in Arizona, striking out 10 batters over his 5.2 innings of work. Previously at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds at the Faith Lutheran Scout Day, he showcased a raw four pitch arsenal that showed promise, but the stamina was his biggest question mark. Now, a slimmed down version of himself (50 pounds slimmer to be exact) looks to have gained even more confidence than he previously possessed and could see some velocity jumps coming in the near future. A testament to his work ethic, Dijkman has taken full advantage of the down time, committing to improving his physical stature and it seems to already be paying off. As he heads into his senior season for the Crusaders, this is a prospect that could make some big jumps, developing more feel for each of his pitches and potential significant increases in velocity.
