Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

One of the top 2024s in the state, RHP/OF Montrell Christian Jr. (Forest Park) physically stands out amongst his peers, checking in at 6-foot-4, 219-pounds. Christian has all the makings of the next big power pitcher to come out of the state. On Sunday, he ran his fastball up to 84. He also dropped in a 12/6 breaking ball for strikes. As he continues to mature, look for the velocity to take big jumps and his offspeed to improve.
2024 Player Rankings
weighs in at an intimidating 6-foot-4, 200-pounds. It remains to be seen whether Christian Jr will end up being an arm or a bat, but at this point he is able to do both at a high level. On the mound he can work his fastball up into the mid-80s and compliments it with a nice slider. At the plate, he has a powerful swing that plays well to the pull-side. With the natural strength throughout his frame, he is able to generate hard contact to all fields.
