Elijah Nunez Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

School: Texas Christian Source: 4YR

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.6
Nunez is a speedy, lefthanded-hitting outfielder with a gap-to-gap swing and a 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame. This spring he hit .288/.399/.413 with three home runs, 17 doubles, a 20.8% strikeout rate and a 12.5% walk rate. He’s a strong fastball hitter who makes a lot of contact and has handled 92-plus mph velocity well, but he doesn’t have much power and instead will need to rely on driving balls into the gaps and using his speed. He has a tendency to get out in front on breaking pitches, and his miss rates against sliders and curveballs are some cause for concern, but he is a solid defender in center field with above-average speed—which should lower the bar for his offensive expectations.
A speedy center fielder with bat speed and pitch recognition skills, Nunez’s plus speed, above-average defense in center and on-base skills make him a potential top-of-the-order table-setter whose fallback option is as a bottom-of-the-order bat whose speed, defense and lefty bat are useful enough to make him still playable. Nunez has gap-to-gap doubles power, but sometimes can get a little big in his swing. He’s a Texas Christian signee.
