Virginia freshman RHP Christopher Worley brings polish, pedigree, and a lively arm
In the 2025-26 season, Christopher Worley arrives at Virginia as a high-upside freshman right-hander with strong recruiting buzz, including a Perfect Game ranking as the No. 163 RHP nationally and a maxed-out look that scouts liked for a fastball that has touched 94 mph with an effective slider[1][11]. At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, he looks like a compact, power-oriented arm who can miss bats and compete with real intensity, though he’s still early in the development curve and doesn’t yet have college game results to judge[1][2]. If you want a young pitcher with swing-and-miss stuff and upside, he’s worth the monitor.
