Coaches Quote: Christian contributed consistently for the Vikings last season as a freshman and has big physical presence with good power and surprising athleticism.

Previous Seasons Stats: .298 BA, 5 RBI, 1 2B
College Commit: Uncommitted
Coaches Quote: Falk is a scrappy, hard-nosed competitor. He can play INF or OF and will also contribute on the mound. Good contact hitter; power number should improve this year. Will be a consistent contributor for the Vikings this season in the field and on the mound.
