Notes

2/25/24

RHP Kyle Christensen (Joliet Catholic, 2026) is yet another arm making his way through the Hilltopper hallways. Christensen is listed at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds with broad-shoulders and athletic overall build. He has made big strides since his bullpen at this event last winter where he topped at 75 mph with fastball. This time around his fastball played at 82-85, T86 and his slider looked to be his best secondary offering playing at 75-76 mph (2412 average rpm) with tight spin, 10/4 shape and late bite at times.

2/20/23

Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 5-11, 152-pounds. Well proportioned, lanky build.
Hit: RHH. Balanced quiet setup, short stride. Simple, repeatable swing, controls the barrel, stays inside the baseball at times and uses the whole field.
Power: 80 max exit velocity, averaged 70.5 mph. 151’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 73 mph. High 3/4 slot
Defense: Two-hand gather out front, steady actions, clean transfer.
Run: 7.65 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Methodical side-step windup, aggressive high leg kick into tall and fall delivery.
Arm Action: RH. Short arm arc into 3/4 slot.
FB: T75, 73-75 mph. Some arm-side run. T2204, 2112 average rpm.
CB: 65-67 mph. More depth than slider, 11/5 action.  T2180, 1849 average rpm.
SL: 66-69 mph. Short wrinkle, some depth.  T2032, 2005 average rpm.
CH: 70-72 mph. Tendency to cut, developing feel.  T2202, 2108 average rpm.

7/19/22

Positional Profile: RHP/3B
Body: 5-10, 140-pounds. Skinny frame with projection.
Delivery: Stretch only, high leg-kick, slight drop/drive lower-half, shoulders remain level throughout stride, strides slightly across body, front foot lands square.
Arm Action: RH. Short to the ear out of the glove, 3/4 slot.
FB: T71.9, 71-72 mph. Sinks to the arm-side.  T1810, 1758 average rpm.
SL: 64-65 mph. Sharp 2/8 shape. T1751, 1645 average rpm.
CH: 69-69 mph. Plays mostly straight, similar release to fastball, flashed fading action. T1662, 1625 average rpm.
CUT: 68-71 mph. Short, horizontal 2/8 shape. 

Hit: RHH. Upright, narrow setup, back-leg load, knee-knocks into a short stride, hands start low.  Fluid rhythm, easy effort, loose hands and pull-side approach.
Power: 78 max exit velocity, averaged 69.3 mph. 248’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 68 mph. Short arm action, firm, low 3/4 slot.
Defense: Clean exchange, clean footwork, steady actions.
Run: 8.00 runner in the 60.
