2/14/15:  6-foot-7, 220 pound righty pitches from a high ¾ slot with a long, loose arm action.  Tall to fall delivery.  Fastball sat 81-84, touching 85 with some late life.  Overall easy effort.  Showed two types of breaking balls; 72-73 slider and a curveball in the upper 60’s.  Slider shows late break and thrown for a strike. Changeup sat 75-76 with some arm side run, but inconsistent in the zone. 

7/9/14 - 6-foot-7, 225-pound huge framed right-handed pitcher impressed controlling his extra-large frame.  Works from a  long, loose, high ¾ arm slot with a tall-and-fall delivery.  Fastball was straight at 81-83 mph with little effort.  Stays in line with lower half towards home plate.  Fails to load lower half over the rubber from the stretch.  Threw both a slider and a curveball.  Slider was 70-73 with sharp, late break.  Tilts shoulders more on curveball with more 12/6 action at 67-70 mph for strikes.  Changeup flashed arm side run at 70-73 mph.  Christ has a great pitchers frame with broad shoulders.  If he can firm up his body a bit velocity gains could be in his future due to his clean delivery and arm.
