Christman

VA/DC Scout Blog

Solid 5-11, 215-pound frame. Strength in upper body. Had a really nice day at the plate. Showed patience in counts, power in both gaps, and solid pitch recognition with barrel awareness. Knew what he was looking for in counts and capitalized with loud barrels in both gaps. Will be a run producer for Walsingham and would be a nice addition to the middle of an order.
