Drew Christo
Elkhorn (Neb.) HS RHP
Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 225 | B-T: L-R
Commit/Drafted: Nebraska
Age At Draft: 18.5
The top 2021 prospect out of Nebraska, Christo is a lean, physical righthander with an impressive presence on the mound and the raw stuff to match. His pitches are largely in the 50-55 range at the moment, led by a fastball that he parks in the low 90s and has been up to 94-95 mph at his best. He tunnels a changeup well off of his fastball and also has feel to spin a slider that has above-average potential, but is currently inconsistent. On top of that, Christo has also shown a cutter that runs off of barrels to give him a fourth solid offering. Christo has a sound delivery with a three-quarter arm slot and a relatively clean arm path. He is committed to Nebraska.

Good changeup at 82. FB 92-93 is easy with some run. Curveball at 78 has shown good bit and tight, consistent break. Can struggle with command but with his size and physicality, Christo will be a sought name in the 2021 draft.

Drew Christo (2021 Elkhorn, NE) may be one of the hardest throwers in the class when it is all said and done. He has a low effort delivery, with a clean arm action, sitting in the 88-91 mph range and peaking at 93 mph. He has a four pitch mix and the 6-foot-4 frame is still filling out. He threw four-plus shutout innings at the WWBA and all things being calculated, he has riser written all over him.

Working down-the-hill, Christo came out pumping strikes, showing good athleticism and easy velo with his 90-93 mph fastball. With a large, strong frame at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds Christo has immense upside with a fluid delivery and clean arm action. The right-hander also flashed a short slider at 84 mph.
PG -
Drew Christo is a 2021 RHP with a 6-4 225 lb. frame from Elkhorn, NE who attends Elkhorn. Big and strong build, stands out physically. Compact and quick arm stroke, clean directional delivery that he repeats well, arm action creates some deception and enables his fastball to play up. Topped out at 94 mph, fastball gets on hitters quickly, gets good sink and run to both sides of the plate. Slurve type breaking ball is consistently landed for strikes with good feel, can add more power to this pitch. Developing change up. Chance to be a highest level sinker/slider type with further development of his slider. 7.07 runner, is a very good athlete for his size. Left handed hitter with a pull and lift approach and some raw power.
Mack's spin -
Christo is a top prep pitcher prospect.
His arm needs time to develop but I expect some team will draft him with either their 3rd or 4th selection and Christo will change his mind about going to college.
Remember this name.

Christo sounds good. Perhaps a future closer: Christo saves.
