2025 MIF Christian Clarke (Carrollwood Day HS, FL)
FSU commit. Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds on an athletic frame with some present physicality, still room to fill out. Clarke shows lots of potential and his above average athleticism was seen right from the jump when he clocked in at 6.88 seconds for his 60 yard dash time. Offensively, he showed above average bat speed and drove the ball for several hard hit line drives into the right-center, left-center field gaps during batting practice. There’s more power in there. Up the middle defensively he moved freely to his right and left, fielding the ball under control and with confidence. Throws across the diamond were accurate and topped out at 85 mph. Strong follow, more jumps in his overall game are coming.
