The right-hander utilizes a slight drop-and-drive delivery to move down the mound with efficiency. There is solid arm speed within the clean three-quarter arm slot. The delivery is repeated fairly well due to little effort used throughout. The fastball has topped at 92 mph with a spin rate of 2600+. The offering generates whiffs at the top of the zone. It is paired with a mid-70s curveball with fairly sharp, slurvy action. The frame and pitch mix make Ellwanger an enticing arm with huge upside down the line.

Fluidity within the delivery and the ability to stay online allow it to be repeated well. The fastball sits 87-90 mph, topping out at 91 mph. It is paired with a mid-70s curveball which features tight 11-5 action. Late bite and the ability to throw the pitch for strikes makes it a legit out pitch offering. The right-hander also has flashed fading changeup which sits in the upper-80s. The pitch mix should play at the next level with the ability to miss bats and get outs consistently.

Samson Pugh (2023, Montgomery, Texas) has shown potential both as a bat and an arm. In the box, Pugh utilizes a simple stroke with a direct path to contact. The path combines with solid bat speed to produce plenty of hard-hit line drives.

A short, quick arm stroke produces a mid-80s fastball that can be located on both sides of the plate. It is paired with a sharp, low-70s breaking ball with tight spin and good depth. An advanced feel for pitch allows Sparks to generate whiffs with both offerings.

Williamson has the ability to throw it to both sides of the plate and maintain the velocity throughout outings. An upper-70s curveball features 11-5 action with bite when thrown with conviction. The splitter is the true out pitch. The offering features very low spin, creating late diving action at the plate.

Cole Johnson (2023, Austin, Texas) is a power hitting first baseman with the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark. There is obvious strength within the large 6-foot-5, 220-pound frame that is used well in the box.
