2007 Mid Atlantic Underclass Showcase
Chris Whitman is a 2009 RHP/OF with a 5'10'', 165 lb. frame from Downingtown, PA who attends Bishop Shanahan. Chris has a lean athletic build with room to fill out. On the mound Chris has a long loose arm action and throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. He has a live fastball and feel for a solid 11 to 5 curveball and a nice straight change-up. Chris gets in trouble with his mechanics where he doesn't finishes well with his front side, causing his command to suffer. At the plate Chris has a level swing plane and makes consistent solid contact. He gets long with his swing and needs to work on shortening up and staying inside the ball longer. Chris is a solid student that should attract the attention of some smaller college programs.
