Elijah Basham is a 2023 OF/RHP with a 6-1 158 lb. frame from Byhalia, MS who attends Lewisburg. Recorded a 7.12 second sixty-yard dash time. Long, lean build with room to fill out. Primary outfielder with anticipatory actions into the fielding process, clean funnel out in front and off his front foot. Displays longer gather, maintains some momentum into uphill release and exhibits a full, longer arm action. Recorded developing arm strength up to 79 mph during drills. Right-handed hitter that hits from a wider, slightly open stance with an even hand set and small leg lift trigger. Incorporates low, deep hand load to get swing going, while using rotational lower half mechanics to get to contact. Gap-to-Gap approach with line drive swing path, feel for the barrel and some impact when on-time. Fairly consistent bat-to-ball skills with room to add strength and expand his power potential. Overall solid skill set with some upside at the plate and plenty of physical projection remaining. Excellent Student.
