Eli Serrano
is a 2022 OF/1B with a 6-5 195 lb. frame from Fuquay Varina, NC who attends
Pro5 Baseball Academy. Extra-large, athletic frame with square shoulders and a
lean, projectable build with room to fill throughout. Ran a 6.77 60-yard dash.
Primary outfielder, moves well for size and shows consistent actions, longer
arm action through the back working to a higher slot on throws, will continue
to refine, shows arm strength and on line carry to the intended base with
present accuracy. Left-handed hitter, begins with a wide base and a high hand
set and back elbow at the plate; coils into load, comes out of it well with
plenty of quickness and balance. Longer path through the zone, shows strength
at impact and generates line drive contact to all parts of the field. Sound bat
speed through the zone, easy to project on the power long term, plenty of
present launch with carry to pull side. Very good student. Verbal commitment to
NC State. Selected to the 2021 Perfect Game All-American Classic.

to first base to get his bat in the lineup right away. The frosh slashed
.292/.389/.470 in 2023, bopping seven home runs and 32 RBIs on his way to a
spot on the ACC-Freshman Team.
The 6-foot-5
lefty moved to center field his sophomore, using his long stride to cover
plenty of ground in the outfield and producing similar numbers at the plate.
Serrano hit nine home runs and 39 RBIs with a .286/.383/.433 slash line.

Serrano
looks like an under-slot pick that means we might be paying for someone else here… news at eleven…

I don't understand how this can be an underslot pick when Serrano is only a sophomore. He could easily just stay in College next year and bet on himself to be a higher pick in next year's draft.
