The native of Lawrence, Massachusetts played his high school ball at Central Catholic High School for Marc Pelletier and won the Coaches Award as a senior. Chris is a crafty lefty who has the control to paint the corners of the plate and the ability to keep hitters off balance with his off-speed pitches.

As a freshman for St. Joe's Chris emerged as one of the top pitchers on the Monks staff and a real asset out of the bullpen. As he worked his way toward becoming one of the team's top relievers, Chris posted a 4.45 era in 32 innings of work with a 2-0 record with one save. Look for Chris to be Coach Sanborn's go-to guy out of the pen in 2009.

Chris is the son of Gina and Kenneth Dion of Lawrence, Massachusetts.
