6.20.18 Now 6-foot-4, Ellis has taken the next step in his development and added velocity to his fastball. Works in the 81-84 range, Ellis mixes that with a tight overhand curveball with depth and 1/7 shape that he can throw at anytime in the count. Ability to get swings and misses, he works downhill with minimal effort and a lot more to come. Don't let the velo fool you, Ellis is clean on the mound and we envision the velocity is going to continue to gain for the young 2020 lefty.
4.15.17 Young 2020 left-hander with lean pitcher's frame who works with good tempo and clean arm from 3/4 slot. 6-foot-2, 167-pounds and good frame that will fill out as he matures. Smooth in the back and out front it works and comes out the hand with ease. Fastball touched 78 but will continue to increase with the chance to add serious velocity in the future. Shows feel for curveball at 66-68 and throws changeup with similar fastball action at 69 mph. Young, good looking left-handed prospect and one to keep eye as a big jump looks to be in Ellis's future.
