Tim Elliott

After being used as a reliever during his first year at Georgia in 2017, Elliott made four starts during his sophomore season in addition to seven relief appearances, where he posted a 3.86 ERA, but struggled with his control, walking 13 batters in 21 innings. This spring, Elliott has moved into a full-time starting role and experienced his best season yet. Through his first 13 games (12 of which were starts), Elliott posted a 2.93 ERA with a career-high strikeout rate (8.80 per nine) and career-low walk rate (3.08 per nine). The 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander throws four close to average pitches: A 55-grade fastball in the 90-94 mph range, an above-average changeup and both a slider and a curveball. The slider is a half-grade ahead of his curve as an average pitch, while the curve is more of a fringe-average offering at this point.
