Prep Baseball Report

West Coast Super Sophomore Games Spotlight - Philip Elliston


Dylan Grenz
Associate Scout

As we conclude 2025, Prep Baseball Oregon continues our series of Player Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only events, including the PNW State Games, Future Games, and West Coast Super Sophomore Games. Prep Baseball spotlights aim 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.

Today, we spotlight '28 OF/RHP Philip Elliston. The Grant High School prospect showed well earlier in the summer at the North Portland Summer ID before securing an invite to SSG in Eugene.

An athletic 5'11 prospect, Elliston's year was highlighted by a 6.98 60-time and two-way ability. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from previous events.
