Christian Binger is a very good athlete. He scores above average in virtually every aspect of his game. As a hitter, Christian has very few weaknesses in his swing. He is aggressive at the plate and will always "take" what the defense gives him. He has good balance, good hands and works the middle of the field very well. He stays inside the ball well and seems to handle left handed pitchers as well as righties. He is a gap to gap hitter that should hit for a high average. Christian will use the entire field of play because of very good pitch recognition and good plate discipline. His over-all mechanics are solid: He stays back and explodes very well to the ball. His bat travels a great path to the ball and his hands are very quick to adjust to off-speed and marginal pitches. Most importantly, Christian is compact and short to the ball. He is a smart hitter and is very unselfish at the plate. If he shows any weakness at all, it is that he needs to use his lower half more and allow his backside "push" through the ball upon his decision to swing. He is an exciting hitter and because of his ability at the plate I believe he will find his way into just about any lineup at whichever level he ends up playing. As an infielder, it is more of the same. His athletic ability allows him to get to alot of balls either up the middle or in the hole. He has smooth hands, a strong base and excellent feet. His throws show good carry and are accurate - Christian does a good job at keeping everything infront of him. His game (situation) recognition is exceptional. Christian is a tough - tough kid with very high character! He is an excellent student and will be a tremendous addition to any college program!
