Elijha Hammill

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #498 prospect in 2021 draft
  The 17-year-old switch-hitting infielder from Oakville, Ontario, ventured south to have an opportunity to play this season in Georgia, while his home country remains under strict pandemic protocols. Hammill was impressive in the last chance he got to be on the field with Team Canada in 2020, outperforming some of his older counterparts as an underclassman. The Utah commit is a candidate for a team to try to move him behind the plate, as a bigger-bodied high school second baseman, but whether he can defend as a catcher is a question mark. He doesn’t have the cleanest bat path from either side of the plate, but he controls the zone and has decent bat-to-ball skills.
