Scouting Report
Uncommitted. Elder has shown well at the plate in each look this Spring. As he sets the tone at the top for Harris County as a prototypical lead-off bat. Shows good length in-zone with a strong ability to deliver an accurate barrel with present hand speed and great utilization of his lower half. Elder also looks the part in the dirt at SS with athletic actions throughout with impressive lateral range, soft hands, and present arm strength across the diamond. Needing a massive two-innings out of the pen Thursday night, Harris County brought in Elder to slam the door. As he looked untouchable across the 2.0 IP to pick up a massive region win. An athletic mover down the mound, Elder consistently disrupted timing with a FB/CB mix. The fastball sat 86-88 T89 with ride through the zone for swing-and-miss when elevated. Curveball showed depth at 72-74. Elder holds a strong profile with many traits to help a team out at the next level.
