Scouting Report

Assets
  • There's no denying he has size on his side, which is what has kept him in pro ball so long. He has the marketable ability to keep the ball low and induce grounders, which keep his home run totals fairly low.
Flaws
  • He lacks a dominant out pitch and too often gets behind in the count, and when he finds himself behind he can't catch up and the scoreboard gets lit up. The big righty has lots of trouble against right-handed hitters and getting himself out of jams.
Career Potential
  • There's little use for Ellis at the major-league level.
