Hitting
Ely never has been a patient hitter. But Dillon's detracters are quick to call attention to his ongoing struggles at the plate with men on base. Ely always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. Ely isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
2025 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Creston Kokanee were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. AA isn't the right place for Ely. Expect the Creston Kokanee to send him down for some minor retooling.
