LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
John Christian is a 6-1, 160 lb junior right handed pitcher from Canada. NOTE: Christian's family is moving to Louisville, Kentucky this fall because of his father's job. College coaches and pro scouts who are responsible for Kentucky need to put this young man on their follow lists. Chistian is a live bodied athlete who is a sub 7.0 60 runner and projects very well physically. He has a live and loose arm and throws from a high 3/4's release point. Christian's fastball was 84-86 mph at the Midwest Showcase with some cutting aciton on occasion. Both of Christian's breaking balls show the potential to be plus pitches in the future. His 78-79 mph slider was nasty at times, with a big, hard break that froze hitters. Christian's 71-73 mph curveball has the same type of quality tight spin and has a sharp downer bite. Both pitches can make good hitters swing and miss. Christian also threw a couple of upper 70's change ups. Very good follow!
