2018 14U West Showcase
Elijah Scadina is a 2022 RHP/3B, SS with a 5-11 150 lb. frame from Kailua Kona, HI who attends Hawaii Preparatory Academy. Medium, square shouldered build with long limbs and a lean, projectable frame with room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran an 8.23 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, steady tempo to delivery with high leg lift up above belt with a full hand path over the head; pause at balance point and shows good direction towards the plate with lower half. Loose arm stroke through the back working to an extended three-quarters release point, shows sining life to fastball from release, topped out at 73 mph. Developing feel for curveball, up to 60 mph with the pitch; throws changeup for strikes and flashes like to arm side when on top at 60 mph. Similar full arm action from the outfield, works over front side, gets under the ball occasionally at release; longer strides moving towards the ball in the infield, developing actions, accurate throws across the diamond. Righthanded hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow at the plate; utilizes a leg lift trigger for timing at the plate. Pulls hands back at start of swing, upper body dominant but shows looseness to stroke. Can continue to implement a weight shift through lower half, creates extension out front and stays inside the baseball. Excellent student.
