07/05/2024 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (MS) Elijah continues to impress with his baseball abilities on the diamond. He shows a squared setup and firm glove, sticking pitches in the zone. While he utilizes his body effectively while blocking, focusing on getting his body down sooner will enhance his ability to block and control wild pitches, further improving his overall defensive prowess. Pop times showed in the 3.80 range and accuracy on his throws. As he builds arm strength through a long toss program, we can expect those pop times to drop. At the plate, his squared setup and loose hands help him generate an aggressive swing path, leading to consistent contact. His line drive approach reflects his ability to hit the ball effectively, particularly to the pull side. As he refines the efficiency of his lower half during his swing, he is likely to see an increase in his power, which will add another dimension to his offensive game.
