Scouting Report:
Amazing athlete with a great work ethic. Ellsbury has consistently
won awards for his defensive play in centerfield. He is
extremely fast and knows how to run the bases. Demonstrated great on
base ability in the minors, but has struggled maintaining that early in
his big league career. Gap power with the
ability to leg singles into doubles and doubles into triples. Not
much home run power, doesn't project to add a lot either. Projects well as a major league lead-off hitter.
Doesn't slump too often because you can't turn off his blazing speed.
Lettered and excelled in five sports in high school,
including football, where he could have played at a very high collegiate
level as a kickoff returner. However, he enjoys baseball the most.
Could stand to bulk up a little bit. Arm strength is below
average. |
