On Sunday, Feb. 7, Prep Baseball Report will host the 19th edition of its prestigious, flagship event: the Super 60 Pro Showcase. Since the event’s inception in 2003, more than 300 players have been selected in the MLB Draft, including 22 first-round picks and 25 second-rounders.

We started our our march toward the Super 60 earlier this month, by highlighting the prospects set to join us, shining a light on their impressive player profiles that they've groomed through their high school years and beyond.


Scouting Report

10/7/20
Christo has a strong, durable frame at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds. Loose and athletic delivery in his delivery, the Nebraska recruit gets good extension (7 feet or better). His fastball ranged from 87-92 with 2300+ rpm for Team Elite Black at the Upperclass Fall World Series. His slider was 77-82 with gyro spin at times, but it also flashed hard, late sweep. The changeup was 80-82. He struck out five and allowed just one hit in three innings.

8/01/20
Working down-the-hill, Christo came out pumping strikes, showing good athleticism and easy velo with his 90-93 mph fastball. With a large, strong frame at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds Christo has immense upside with a fluid delivery and clean arm action. The right-hander also flashed a short slider at 84 mph.

5/20/18: Nebraska Elite 50
6-foot-2, 185 pound right handed pitcher topped out at 82 mph with his fastball. Project-able frame with long limbs. Fastball was in the 78-82 mph range in his two innings of work. Uses leverage to get the ball on a downhill plane. 12/6 shape on 65-68 mph breaking ball, landed comfortably for strike. Avg feel for 68-69 mph change up with downward action.
