Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/OFPosition Projection

06/18/2021 - Baseball Factory All-State Tournament (HS) Eli is an OF/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2022. Medium frame athletic build with strength present and plenty of room to develop. Ran a 6.83 60-yard dash. In the OF, creates good fielding angles as he tries to work behind the ball. Throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with accurate/on-line throws into infield. On the mound, this right-handed pitcher gathers over rubber as he keeps his eyes locked on catchers mitt. Loose/whippy arm action who gets good movement on his pitches. Attacks hitters with his FB that was up to 82mph with good tailing action. Mixed in a 10/4 shaped breaking ball with medium break. Recorded 5 strikeouts in 4 innings of work in live game action. A right-handed hitter, starts with an athletic and open stance. Simple and balanced swing with ability to hit line drives into both gaps. Showed a good rear hip coil with ability to keep hands inside ball. Reached base 3 times in live game action with a recorded bat exit velocity of 85mph. As he continues to develop and mature, we see him having opportunities to play at the next level.

11/03/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Knoxville, TN Eli continues to show as a prospect with improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.01 runner. At 3B, defensive abilities are now solid as he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are aggressive as he attacks balls but needs to play through more with his body. Glove action is firm and presents well out front. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting / power potential has improved through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He tracks the ball well and makes consistent hard contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.

05/26/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Murfreesboro (Nashville), TN Eli is a RHP/3B prospect who continues to showcase his skills on the field. On the mound, Eli keeps his eyes on target and separates his hands on time. He finishes with a controlled landing and keeps his pitches around the zone. Eli shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 76mph. Breaking ball sits from 64-66mph with 11-5 break. Changeup sits from 71-72mph with arm side run as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Gathering to a balance point over the rubber can help Eli improve as a pitcher. In the field, Eli shows efficient footwork and flashes good lateral range. He gets into a low position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes a clean exchange and keeps his throws accurate with carry through his target. Eli can improve defensively by attacking the ball more aggressively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He gets back into his load and produces consistent contact. Working a smoother rhythm into his load can help Eli improve as a hitter. With three more years to develop, Eli has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.

07/23/2017 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 12-14) Eli is a strong, athletic RHP/3B who has a tremendous future on the diamond. At the plate is where he shows best through a closed setup. Hands are quick and work through a compact swing path. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing the whole field. He has strength in his swing with baseball jumping off the bat when centered. At 3B, feet are active / aggressive as he attacks balls but needs to play through more with his body. Glove action is soft / clean but will benefit by presenting more out front. Hands / feet work well together through the fielding process. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 69-71 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and plays the game hard. With 5 years to further develop, Eli has the makings of a special type player with time and room to progress his game.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
