Oregon Uncommitted Spotlight - '27 OF/RHP Kaden Eli
August 3, 2026
As we near the end of the summer showcase season, Prep Baseball Oregon features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers who have attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '27 OF/RHP Kaden Eli. The rising senior from South Albany High School was most recently seen at the Eugene Preseason ID this winter.
A compat-framed righthander, Eli's showcase was highlighted by exit velocities into the low 90's and throws up to 82 MPH from the outfield. Below is a complete player profile breakdown.
