Drew
Ellis

2/20/16

Athletically built at 6-foot-1, 165-pounds. Drew showed well in the infield with good reactions off the bat and athletic footwork getting to the ball. Transfer had quickness to it and he threw across the infield with 80 mph arm strength. A right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced set up and uses a rhythmic leg kick to initiate his lower half. During his stride forward his hands move slightly back before getting the bat through the zone on a level path. Registered a top exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 4.09 from home to first. On the mound he uses a quicker tempo to a delivery that requires some effort. Using above average arm speed his fastball sat 79-83 mph and was complimented by a big-breaking 59-63 mph curveball. Adding to his arsenal of pitches was a slider that darts across the plate at 62-64 mph and a changeup that had late run/sink at 63-67 mph. Also flashed a knuckle ball with dance to it at 63-64 mph.
