9/15/22

Had a pair of hits, while adding another hard contact with a line out to right field. At 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, the left handed hitter is country strong. He can muscle the baseball with authority through the four-hole or jolt it with power to his pull side. He also showed bat control with the ability to change plans and go the over way. Behind the plate Ellis showed near average arm strength and looked to be a capable receiver.

10/01/21

A middle of the order slugger who teamed with Alberto Osuna last spring at Walters State, the 6-foot-3, 220-pounder bashed .348 with 17 HR and 62 RBI. For the Hoosiers the right-handed bat has continued to rake this fall and will see some time behind the plate, some at 1B and other time at DH.

10/15/16

Home-1st: 4.73, Pop Time: 1.96-2.01, Position Velocity:  C-81, Exit Velocity: 86
6-foot-3, 205-pound, LHH continues to impress with his ability to drive the baseball, strong frame with good pull side power. Showed the most arm strength to date at 81 from the crouch. Good combination of arm strength behind the plate and a power left-handed bat. Committed to Southern Illinois following the event.

7/05/16

Home-1st: 4.76, Pop Time: 1.94-1.97, Position Velocity:  C-79, Exit Velocity: 86
6-foot-3, 205-pound LHH hits from a slightly open stance with a short stride, uses strength and loose hands to generate good power especially to the pull side, has shown to be one of the top left handed power bats in the class, went 0-for-3 in game play. Defensively, arm strength plays well behind the plate, solid footwork with a quick release produces strong throws to the bag, pop times continue to improve, has some room to improve as a receiver and blocker.

6/14/16

60 Time: 7.43, Pop Time: 1.99-2.03, Position Velocity:  C-78, Exit Velocity: 87
6-foot-3, 205-pound LHH hits from a slightly open stance and squares with short stride, good rhythm in swing with loose hands that produce easy power, consistently squared the baseball in BP, showed his power in game play going 2-for-3 with a HR to RF. Showed improvements in both arm strength and pop times behind the plate, gets rid of the ball efficiently with solid footwork that stays online, produced mostly accurate throws to the bag. Ellis has shown his power from the left side and is a top prospect in the 2018 class.

6/29/15

6-foot-2, 185-pound left-handed hitter showed potential to be a high-level 2018 prospect. Hits from an open stance and squares front side with a short stride, compact swing with some hand quickness, current line drive type hitter who should develop some power, above average bat speed for age, 82 mph exit velocity, ran an 8.13 60, went 1-for-4 in game play with a single to RF and one strikeout. Defensively showed well above average arm strength at 77 mph, short high-3/4 release, footwork stays online, 2.00-2.11 pop times with accurate throws to the bag.

Spring 2016 - Decommitted from Southern Illinois and re-opened recruitment.
