Chris Ellis Mississippi
9-10-13 – Top Arms in 2013 Cape
Cod League - Chris Ellis 6-5/195, (Ole Miss) Cotuit Kettleers 37.2 IP, 23 K,
2.39 ERA: FB 87-94 CB 79-81 CH 82-84 -
He flashed 1st round stuff throughout the summer. His power curve looks
borderline unhittable at times, and the change has a lot of late life. His
frame can still fill out, and the FB velocity is only going to increase and
become more consistent. http://bullpenbanter.com/2013-all-cape-team-pitchers/

Orioles: Chris Ellis, RHP, Mississippi - Chris Ellis, a 6’5”, 205-pound
right-hander, didn’t receive much exposure last spring while working out of Ole
Miss’s bullpen. However, after a dominant showing in the Cape Cod League this
past summer, he now ranks among the top pitching prospects in the 2014 draft
class. Ellis has a heavy fastball in the low- to mid-90s with late life, and he
complements it with an impressive changeup in the mid-80s with plus potential.
The right-hander throws his slider in the 80-83 mph range, though it’s an
inconsistent pitch and lags behind his fastball-changeup combo. He profiles as
a No. 3 or No. 4 starter in the major leagues.

RHP Chris Ellis Ole Miss- Ellis had an excellent summer on the Cape and like
many others before him at the greatest place to be for baseball in the summer
team he set himself up as a potential 1st round pick. He was used more as a RP
as a sophomore but you have to think a lot of eyes will be on Ellis this season
when he toes the slab as a weekend starter. He has 3 quality pitches and gets
plenty of life out of his 91-93 MPH fastball. He also has a very good slider.

– PG - It doesn’t come as a surprise when certain players are dubbed “sleepers”
or as “flying under the radar”, as many of them come from less than traditional
baseball hot-beds or have a more undervalued skill-set. Then, there are players
like Ole Miss righthander, Chris Ellis that shouldn’t surprise anyone, but
appears poised to do just that nonetheless. There’s nothing sneaky about Ellis’
raw stuff, his delivery, or where he goes to school. And, he performed at a top
notch level in the nation’s elite collegiate summer league on Cape Cod in 2013.
But, nevertheless, Ellis has not yet received his full credit for being the
potential first round selection that his ability clearly dictates that he may
be. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9288
