08/20/2017 - College PREP - Kannapolis (Charlotte), NC Eli is a tall, athletic SS who has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 60 time of 7.20. At the plate, is where he shows best, best, displaying well above average hitting / power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive approach. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. At SS, feet are aggressive as he attacks balls and plays through well with his body. Glove action is soft / sure but will benefit by presenting more out front. He shows off his athletic abilities on his feeds of the double play. 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. With 3 years to further develop, Eli has the makings of a special type player with time and room to progress his game.
