2024 Wow Factor National Showcase
Elijah Bonner is a 2028 LHP/1B with a 6-1 180 lb. frame from Murfreesboro, TN who attends Central Magnet School. Strong athletic build especially for his age. Starts with a high leg raise and tuck over the rubber, gets his strong hips turned well, clean arm action from an extended 3/4's arm slot, repeated his mechanics well and should have solid command. Fastball topped out at 74 mph with some arm side running life, tended to straighten up in the zone. Got good spin on a good slider that had some depth at times. Should continue to develop in all areas as he matures and gets more reps. 8.40 runner in the sixty. Had good fundamental actions at first base on defense and showed his athleticism well. Left handed hitter, hits from a balanced and closed stance with a toe tap trigger, tends to stay on his back side, uphill swing plane with some strength at contact, best to left-center field. Excellent student.
