7.15.17: Elder has an athletic frame, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a short arm action. Shoulders level and closed, lands slightly closed with a fall off finish. Fastball had downward plane to it and sat 81-83, touching 84. Change-up had late run and good armspeed at 78. 12/6 curveball had late break, backed up occasionally, pitch was thrown with good armspeed at 72-76. Also hits from right side and has some batspeed and a short swing with gap power potential.
6.1.17 - Projectable body with some length. Pitched 82 -84 for Great Bridge with later life on his pitches. Shows great command of his change up with late fade and fastball arm speed. Showed command of breaking ball and used that more as a show pitch using a nice combination of his fastball and change, keeping hitter off balance.
