Physical Description: Sturdy and compact frame. Good size to upper half, chest and arms filled out with added muscle. Wide shoulders with strong legs. Good overall body strength with added weight to his frame.
Delivery & Mechanics: Long and Loose arm action with standard three-quarter delivery. Good extension and follow through. Repeatable. High right leg kick from the windup. Arm action can be shortened up. Tendency to get wild from the stretch. Struggles with command, showed signs of improvement in pro ball.
Fastball: Low-90s offering with a bit of life. Velocity holds. Shows good command low in the zone. Struggles with armside command. Added velocity and movement can improve the pitch. Grade: 45
Curveball: Low-to-mid 70s breaking ball that lacks consistent depth and break. Doesn't command his curveball effectively. Tendency to spike. Has a bit of late movement, needs more refinement and reps. Grade: 40
Slider: Low-80s offering that lacks depth and horizontal movement. Can get flat at times, left hanging in the zone too often. Struggles with command and location consistently. Has shown flashes of effectiveness. Improved command and life necessary. Grade: 45
Changeup: Low-80s off-speed pitch with good fade and tumble. Has solid arm speed. Late fade, forces soft contact and ground balls. Locates changeup well, thrown with confidence. Good secondary offering. Grade: 50
Control and Command: Struggles with control and command. Can't locate pitches for strikes consistently. Changeup and fastball showed improvement in location. Mixes his pitches well, needs more refinement to maximize his stuff. Attacks batters, forces ground balls to escape a jam. Showed signs of improved command last season. Control: 45 | Command: 45
Overall: A fourth-round pick by the Mariners in 2019, Tim Elliott made strides in his improvement last season in pro ball. His stuff lacks velocity and movement. He mixes his pitches well in the count and has a repeatable delivery. Almost assuredly a reliever. Must work to command his arsenal.
