OF Christian Guzman (Niles West, 2025) is an athletic, uncommitted junior that impressed in a couple different ways over the weekend. Listed at 6-foot, 180-pounds with present strength and evenly proportioned weight throughout, the right-handed hitter worked on the barrel to his pull-side with loose hands and an uphill path, creating a max EV of 92.7 mph with a max distance of 332’. He has a calm and confident demeanor to him in the box, and also displayed the ability to repeat his strong swing. He’s an above-average athlete, recording a 6.90 in the 60 on a day that didn’t produce many quick times. Defensively, he has steady footwork and a quick first step laterally, helping him cut off balls destined for the gap.
