RHP Christian Foutch - Arkansas

Prospects Live Ranking: #54

Christian Foutch is another Arkansas relief arm who enjoyed a breakout season as a sophomore in 2024. The Colorado native went 1-0 with a 0.81 ERA over 22.1 innings pitched while striking out twenty batters and only walking seven. He’s appeared in 34 games for the Razorbacks over two seasons but has yet to earn a start. He’s a 6’3 right-handed pitcher with a great frame and delivery, and he should see his draft stock improve if he gets a starting role. He displays a smooth delivery and hides the ball well. His arsenal features an upper-90s fastball with sinking action that can sometimes reach triple digits. While he’s primarily a fastball pitcher, Foutch mixes in a slider and splitter to complement the heater, but the command of those pitches is still being developed. Even without a starting role in 2025, the development of those secondary pitches could see Foutch rising into the late first/early second-round area.

Right-handed pitcher Christian Foutch had a dominant sophomore season on the hill for Arkansas out of the bullpen. With freshman righty Gabe Gaeckle, who picked up a team-high seven saves this year, moving into a starting role, Foutch could assume the role as the Razorbacks' closer next season.

Foutch made 20 relief appearances on the mound for the Hogs while posting a 1-0 record with just two runs allowed in 22.1 innings of work for an extremely low ERA of 0.81. He struck out 20 batters and picked up a save on April 27 against Florida.

Foutch recorded the final out of the game against the Gators with runners on first and second to help the Razorbacks secure a 6-5 win. The Littleton (Colo.) native struck out Brody Donay on a full count to end the game and was throwing his fastball in the 100-miles-per-hour range in the series-clinching victory.
