Elliot
Ranson

10.28.17 Western Texas JC recruit. Ranson has a lean-strong frame at 6-foot, 165-pounds. The right-handed hitter has a smooth stroke with a short path and quick hands. Repeats his swing with relaxed rhythm and timing. Hard contact with line drive approach during batting practice, excellent feel for the barrel with an exit velocity of 84 mph. At shortstop, Ranson has smooth actions, quick feet, soft hands, and an accurate arm at 79 mph across the infield. Showed a nose for the baseball during the game, making two nice plays; one was a run through play at full speed with a quick exchange, the other he ran down a pop up in the triangle down the line. Will be a player to follow closely at the junior college level as he adds strength and gets valuable reps.
