Elias Conway: LHP/OF, (2023) Columbia, NY. Delaware Commit, 6-foot-1, 185-pound athletic mature build. Projectable and athletic on the mound, using a consistent loose arm action he showed above average arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Balance point is tall with an in line shoulders in his delivery. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Sat with his fastball at 88-89 mph; has running action and control arm side around the zone. (Max spin 2133; Avg 2095). His changeup (79-80) has arm side around the zone command and fading action. His slider (78-79) had arm side around the zone control and sweeping action. (Max spin 1132; Avg 1132).
7/28/21
Physical: Durable, athletic 6-foot-1, 185lb frame with above-average feel in the arsenal.
Pitching: LHP - Sets up off the middle of the rubber, using a quicker pace in rhythm to a balanced, controlled stack position. Breaks the hands off the left hip, maintaining good hip shoulder separation on the move down the slope. Good arm-speed at release from a H ¾ slot, able to use a fluid, full arm circle on the way through. The FB ranged from 80-83 mph with heavy strike throwing tendencies (slight downhill action, arm side run). Mixed in a gradual 67-68 mph CB (1/7 tilt) with some depth to it, able to leverage on top consistently.
9/11/20
Physical: 6-foot-0, 170 pounds; lean, athletic build. Pitching: Simple mechanics, breaks hands on time and allows the arm to get up to fire. Throws very downhill with a loose 3/4 slot. FB: Peak velo of 84 MPH, while sitting 80-83 MPH. Filled up the bottom of the zone showing excellent command. CB: 61-64 MPH. Drops a quality CB in the zone, good early count pitch. SL: 69-71 MPH. Effectively kills spin on his CH giving it good dive at the plate.
7/06/20
Physical: Stocky and athletic 6-foot, 170-pound frame with a well proportioned build and advanced feel for his body.
Pitching: LHP - High leg lift out of a deliberate momentum in the delivery, gets straight line through a strong backside, lands closed with some crossfire through a high ¾ slot with athleticism in the arm swing. Fastball worked into the zone at 80-83 mph with a max of 1925 spin per Trackman Baseball. Countered with a feel for a 60-62 mph CB with late depth and 1/7 shape which showed as an out pitch to left handed hitters. Dropped in a sneaky 68-69 mph CH with low spin and adequate deception to RHH.
2/15/20
Physical: 5-foot-11, 160-pounds. Lean, athletic frame with room to develop. Pitching Delivery: Builds momentum with high leg lift landing closed off on stride, hands separate from high position accelerating through finish on a firm front side. Arm Action: Long arm swing going back out of the glove working up to a high 3/4 slot. FB: T82, 80-82 MPH. Rides through the zone when elevated, arm side run when located down. CB: 58-60 MPH. 1-7 shape with early action. CH: 67-70 MPH. Commands to glove side with late fade.
9/22/19
Impressive outing at the 2019 Fall Top Prospect Games for the 2023 left handed pitcher. Conway displayed a repeatable delivery and projectable arm. Conway worked with a three pitch mix during live game action. FB peaked at 77 MPH which was an improvement from earlier in the summer. Conway does have a slight crossfire action from a high 3/4 arm slot. Conway is projectable and a must follow as he continues to develop.
7/09/19
The 5-foot-9, 135-pound primary left-handed pitcher displayed a lean frame with room to add on. The lefty worked from the stretch only utilizing a repeatable, high ¾ delivery with some crossfire. Fastballs played primarily up in the zone sitting 73-75 mph. Countered with solid feel of a slow, sweeping 55-57 mph curveball. The left-handed hitter begins with a square stance utilizing a leg-hang to initiate his swing. Hands demonstrated fast wiggle at the ear and pulled slightly through a flat bat-path upon impact. Recorded a 73 mph bat-exit velocity with a line-drive approach during batting practice. Featured easy actions in the outfield with adequate footwork arriving to the ball consistently on time. Momentum created accurate 70 mph arm-strength from his position out of a fluid, high ¾ arm-slot.
