Uncommitted Spotlight: 2024 1B/RHP Elias Frainier
January 9, 2024
As we head into the 2024 season, we now continue our coverage of the talent we've seen up to this point in Colorado with 'Uncommitted Spotlights' of the top prospects still on the board in the senior class. While there's already prospects in the class committed to programs already, there remains a slew of high-end talent still available.
These spotlights help paint a picture of the prospect with the help of our TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge systems, that provides objective data that teams use to identify and break down players they believe will fit into their system.
Today, we continue our Top Uncommitted Spotlights with a look at 2024 1B/RHP Elias Frainier of Columbine HS. The senior comes in at 6'6'' but he is able to generate plenty of athleticism and strength out of his tall frame. During this fall's Rockies Scout Team scout day, Frainier posted a top exit-velocity of 101.1 mph from the left-side and ran a 7.08 60 yard dash. Frainier's tall, strong and athletic frame gives him plenty of upside heading into this season as he is actively developing as an uncommitted senior right now.
