Follow the Prospects: Elijah Green, OF

[welch]

Saw him hit in the second inning. He looks like a modern super-star, at least in the making. Size of a horse, strong, and as fast as a race-horse. But he struck out swinging, missing badly on a pitch that started outside and fluttered so far that no one could have hit it.

Still only 20 years old. This is the time where he needs to show improvement so he at least gets himself to Wilmington.

hit his 4th on Sunday. Grant Paulson noted it was the 2nd hardest hit ball in all of the minors so far this season (116 MPH)

LF barely moved.

His OPS is now .664. Which is bad, but is above his terrible 2023 Fredericksburg line.

Any signs of progress for this kid should be applauded. The massive power is nice. The creeping upward OPS is appreciated.

Still only 20.

As I was reading this I thought of another Elijah:

Elijah Dukes - 6-2 225

Elijah Green - 6-3 225

I assume Elijah Green doesn't like to duke it out like the previous Elijah.
