Entering the tournament as the No. 1 rated player in the class of 2026 for the state of Minnesota, Christiansen showed well in his outing on the mound. Standing at 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, the right-hander projects well as a pitching prospect, showcasing athletic movements and the ability to field his position. Earned the win on the bump by working 4.2 innings in his start, striking out four batters. Struggled with command at times, but was able to control his opponent by only allowing one hit, utilizing a fastball that got up to 84 mph. Flipped up a curveball and change up to complement his fastball, keeping hitters off-balance for a majority of his outing.
