Personal Statement

Tommy Lasorda said, “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man’s determination.” From a young age, I have been determined to make baseball a big part of my life. Baseball, school, church and my family have taught me the importance of a good work ethic, a positive attitude and living an honorable life. No matter what I am doing, on or off the field, I am a very coachable team player who gives 100% effort all the time. Irrespective the task, I am always "bringing my A game” while representing myself, my family and my team in a positive light.

Athletically, I train at the MountainWest Baseball Academy where I have participated in the PEAK Velocity program and as a member of the 2021 Scout Team. In addition, I train with my high school baseball team and The Utah Speed Academy. I feel these programs have contributed greatly to my increasing gains in physical stature and performance as a 6’3”, 210 pound high school senior. As a result, I am consistently achieving increasing power behind my swing, and am working all the time to improve my build, strength, speed, agility, mechanics, defense and game knowledge.

Academically, I have maintained a 3.6/4.0 overall high school grade point average and am a member of the National Honor Society. My family and I have always held academics as a top priority, and I will continue to do so while I pursue baseball to the highest level I can achieve. Off the field, I enjoy many extracurricular activities that include participating in the Youth Advisory Board at my church and previously the Salt Lake City Fire Cadet Academy. In addition, l have enjoyed competing in a wide variety of other sports to include; high school football, high school basketball, lacrosse, wrestling, ice hockey, track/field and snow skiing.

While I know I have a lot to learn, I am a determined to make the impossible, possible. Thank you for viewing my profile.

Under Armour Baseball Factory Evaluation
5/26/18 to 5/26/18
05/26/2018 - College PREP - Salt Lake City, UT Christian is a tall, strong 1B who has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate is where he shows best, displaying outstanding hitting / power potential through a tall setup. Hands are quick (84 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields and has strength in his swing with gap-to-gap pop. At 1B, he displays smooth / clean actions. Feet are active and he displays proper footwork around the bag. Glove action is soft /sure and he presents well out front. Range will increase as he improves and he increases foot quickness. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. With 3 years to further develop, Christian has the makings of a special type player as he continue to progress his game.
