Christian is an athletic medium framed pitcher with some projectable ingredients. He has a solid delivery, with good direction to the plate. He uses a hip load to stay over the rubber and allows his arm time to work behind him. As the young right-hander matures and adds strength these delivery mechanics project well in all aspects. White's fastball topped out at 72 MPH and flashed angle down in the zone. His curve-ball flashed shape at (68-71) and has the ability to use early in counts and as he adds needed strength look for his breaking ball to add sharpness and even more depth. White uses a change-up as his third offering and while he presently lacks commitment to the pitch, he does use the same release point and will give him added deception as he gets more comfortable with the pitch.
