RHP Kyle Christensen (Joliet Catholic, 2026) is yet another arm making his way through the Hilltopper hallways. Christensen is listed at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds with broad-shoulders and athletic overall build. He has made big strides since his bullpen at this event last winter where he topped at 75 mph with fastball. This time around his fastball played at 82-85, T86 and his slider looked to be his best secondary offering playing at 75-76 mph (2412 average rpm) with tight spin, 10/4 shape and late bite at times.
