Future Games Spotlight - RHP Montrell Christian
July 25, 2022
One of the most physically imposing prospects in the state will suit for Team Georgia at the 2022 PBR Future Games. RHP/3B Montrell Christian (Forest Park, 2024) checks in at a broad and strong 6-foot-4, 225-pounds. Despite all his size and muscle, Christian is nimble on his feet and an athlete on the mound with quick, fluid actions. A power arm, Christian has been up to 90 mph this summer, complementing it with a potential swing and miss breaking ball that has depth and tunnels.

One of the top 2024s in the state, RHP/OF Montrell Christian Jr. (Forest Park) physically stands out amongst his peers, checking in at 6-foot-4, 219-pounds. Christian has all the makings of the next big power pitcher to come out of the state. On Sunday, he ran his fastball up to 84. He also dropped in a 12/6 breaking ball for strikes. As he continues to mature, look for the velocity to take big jumps and his offspeed to improve.
2024 Player Rankings
Weighs in at an intimidating 6-foot-4, 200-pounds. It remains to be seen whether Christian Jr will end up being an arm or a bat, but at this point he is able to do both at a high level. On the mound he can work his fastball up into the mid-80s and compliments it with a nice slider. At the plate, he has a powerful swing that plays well to the pull-side. With the natural strength throughout his frame, he is able to generate hard contact to all fields.
