Ethan McElvain
Nolensville
McElvain saw a massive jump in stuff and body during the summer of 2022, shoving 95 and harnessing a mid-80s slider with swing-and-miss potential. McElvain controls the body well and works down the mound with intent and athleticism. Ordinarily sitting 90-92, McElvain projects to throw into the mid-90s with added strength and maturation. He also adds in a bit of deception. A Vanderbilt commit, he's expected to be a tough sign, but upside southpaws are awfully difficult to come by.

37. Ethan McElvain, LHP, Nolensville HS (TN) – A lefty arm from a 3/4 to a bit higher arm with a high leg kick, plenty of leg drive, and the ability to repeat the delivery is a very good spot to start. Add to that the fact he sits 90-93 and runs a fastball up to 95 on a pitch that has some rise to it making it even harder to square up. He has a quality slider sitting 78-80 with some good 2 plane action with a bump in the middle of it rather than big movement. He doesn’t currently have a third offering, but he has the makings of a quality reliever as it stands and upside of a rotation piece if he can develop a third offering.

More two-pitch filth from one of the more underrated LHP in the 2023 class.
Ethan McElvain can run it up to 95 while living 92-94 w/ arm-side run. Shows a true out-pitch in the breaking ball that’s shown plus command and ability to manipulate shape @ 78-82.
