View Draft Report

Sam Elam has a lot of promise in his left arm, but control problems limited him to one win and 76 innings in four seasons at Notre Dame. He's a 6-foot-3, 220-pounder with a solid fastball and hard breaking ball, but he can't find the strike zone. He pitched solely out of the stretch this year in an attempt to simplify things, yet he still walked 29 in 31 innings.
