Christian
Clayton

The 6-foot-2, 180 pound 2015 right-hander was committed to Tulane University as a rising junior, but opted to open up his recruitment again this past summer and has remained unsigned. As a rising junior, Clayton’s fastball would sit 86-89 mph and touched 91 with some life. Showed a quality slider with tight spin, depth, and late hard break at 80-82 mph. A clean in-line delivery with a loose, clean arm action out of a high-3/4’s release and an athletic frame allowed him to be an intriguing projectable right-hander. A broken finger during his junior season caused him to miss significant time, and he is battling back to return to his earlier form. This summer he sat 83-85, and the slider had lost some tightness in the spin. Also a third baseman with decent actions and feet in the infield. Right-handed hitter with smooth swing and occasional juice in the bat.
