Christian Chamberlain

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #117 prospect in 2020 draft
  An undersized lefthander who was one of Oregon State's most reliable relievers his first two seasons, Chamberlain transitioned to a full-time starting role in 2020 and began moving up draft boards with his performance 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 batting 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, and he hides the ball well in his loose, easy delivery. Chamberlain's main secondary is a three-quarter 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, though, believe his size leaves him better suited to a relief role in pro ball.
