Austin Christensen is a 2011 OF/P/1B with a 6'3'', 170 lb. frame from Cedar Rapids, IA who attends Kennedy HS. Extremely young, lean and slender build, tons of projection. Athletic actions, does things easily despite lack of strength, smooth defender at 1B/OF, uses hands well at the plate. Raw pitching mechanics but ball comes out of hand easily at 75 mph, throws downhill, repeats delivery. Could be a good one with time, just a colt now.
