LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 National PreDraft Showcase
RHP Jordan Ellis: Ellis is an impressive athlete, with a well cut 6-2, 195 lb. frame, 6.91 speed in the 60 and a good line drive swing at the plate. We’ve heard some very good things about him this spring but didn’t see the velocity we expected from him in Cedar Rapids, as Ellis pitched in the 85-87 mph range. Ellis has a complicated delivery with his lower half, with lots of leg twists and extensions, but his arm works well and quickly with a short, quick arm stroke and good downward plane to the plate. His best pitch was a 74-76 mph curveball that had tight spin and bite to it. Ellis also threw an 80 mph change up. He’s signed with Virginia.
