Christian Chamberlain

An undersized lefthander who was one of Oregon State's most reliable relievers his first two seasons, Chamberlain transitioned to a starting role in 2020 and rapidly moved up draft boards before the season ended due to the coronavirus pandemic. In four starts this spring, Chamberlain posted a 0.82 ERA in 22 innings with a career-high strikeout rate (13.9 per nine) and a career-low opponent average (.086). While Chamberlain stands just 5-foot-10, 173 pounds, he has a bulldog mentality on the mound and a solid two-pitch mix. His fastball reaches the 94-95 mph range and has sneaky life to it. He hides the ball well in his loose, easy delivery. Chamberlain's main secondary is a three-quarters breaking curveball that has a chance to be an above-average pitch and is least average. He has also thrown a reliable changeup in the past, giving him a three-pitch mix that could allow him to continue starting at the next level. Some scouts believe his size leaves him better suited to a relief role in pro ball. Either way, his mid-90s fastball from the left side has made him an appealing draft target.
