Crew Elrod, Baylor School (TN), 2029 Positional Profile: C/RHP Body: 5-11, 205-pounds. Present thickness, especially in the lower half. Slower twitched body currently, that will need to add muscle. Hit: RHH. Medium crouched stance with good balance to initally start his swing. Back leg load with a light leg lift to plant. Doesn't fully finish swing at times with cutting off extension of the hips and follow-through. Slight uppercut with backside approach. Lacks some current hip fire to pullside. 54.5 mph bat speed with 8 G’s of rotational acceleration. Power: 64 max exit velocity, averaged 51.1 mph. 175' max distance. Arm: LH. C-61 mph. INF-64 mph. Short arm action with quick high elbow to release. Throws off a shuffle step while lacking arm speed, which should come as he progresses. Defense: 2.65-2.85 pop times. Good wide base on intial move. At times lacks fluid movements in his hips and can pop up to move horizontally rather than staying low and moving with the baseball. Clean glove when recieving in imediate direction with quick transfer of the ball to glove to release.
