LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 Virginia Indoor Showcase (Feb. 26)
Connor Christiansen is a 2027 SS/RHP, 2B, 3B, OF, UT with a 5-9 145 lb. frame from Fishers, IN who attends Cathedral. Medium current build and frame with ample projection and a lot of time to add physicality. Primary position IF, playing deep in his legs and sticking his nose on the ball. Smooth glove actions into deep midline funnel and clean exchange. Compact arm action with good spin and carry on throws across the diamond up to 77 mph. Looked really good particularly on the slow roller play. Reps in outfield with similar athleticism and 80 mph on throws here. Secondary RHP using a side step to high leg lift to load over the rubber. Gets down the slope deeply into legs creating good energy. Fluid arm stroke into high 3/4 arm angle. Fills up the zone and showed the ability to pitch backwards when necessary. FB up to 77 mph with some ride to go with vertical CB in the mid-60s and fading CH with deadening spin in the upper-60s. RHH using an open and upright stance to start. High handset and high back elbow as he loads pre-pitch. High hanging leg lift for timing and really worked inside the ball. Best contact was gap to gap with nice low line drive trajectory and some juice behind it. Also showed good barrel feel in live AB situations. Real two-way potential here and a player to watch closely. Outstanding student too.
