06/18/2016 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 Eli is a talented 2-way player who has great leadership type qualities. He is vocal and takes charge when he's on the field. Defensively, he has active prep and moves well on the balls of his feet. He is aggressive and comes to get the GB working smoothly from right to left. Transfer is quick with strong/accurate throws across the diamond. As a hitter - Eli shows an athletic/balanced setup with rhythm to load. He keeps his head still and tracks pitches into the zone and off of the barrel. Quick hands whip the barrel on a short/direct path as he connects and drives the ball with pop. The ball jumps off of his barrel when centered (exit velocity = 87 mph). On the mound, Eli maintains fluid rhythm/tempo and has smooth separation, driving downhill toward the plate. He gets strong glove-side lead and repeats his delivery well. FB jumps out of his hand and cracks the mitt toping out at 84 mph while showing some run. Curveball has 11/5 shape with sharp/late break. Changeup has sink as he throws it with FB arm speed helping to create deception. He mixes pitches well and keeps hitters guessing. Footwork and arm are quick on the pickoff - keeping runners close. Eli pounds the zone and attacks hitters. Calhoun has a ton of upside with the versatility to make things happen in a variety of ways on the diamond. He has a solid skill-set that will translate well into the next level.
