Physical: Lanky, athletic 6-foot 165-pounds - projection to add muscle

The Scoop: Appelman's fastball is primarily in the mid to upper 80s and his strike throwing ability, heavy sink, and ability to spin a breaking ball make him a guy to watch this spring.

The Comp: strong comparisons to his fellow Baseball Warehouse teammate and Rutgers commit, 2023 Zachary Konstantinovsky.

Physical: Broad shouldered athletic 6-foot-1 170-pounds.

The Scoop: Christopher stood out as a top performer in last August's PRD Scout Day. Long, smooth arm action from a hight-3/4 slot. Repeatable delivery and can rip off a sharp, 1/7 breaker. Fastball sat 80-82 with some late life, breaker at 63-66. More in the tank for Christopher.
