Scouting Report: Elite athlete with a great work ethic. Ellsbury has consistently won awards for his defensive play in center field. He is extremely fast and knows how to run the bases. Demonstrated great on-base ability in the minors, but has struggled maintaining that early in his big-league career. Gap power with the ability to leg singles into doubles and doubles into triples. Not much home-run power and doesn't project to add a lot either. Projects well as a major-league leadoff hitter. Doesn't slump too often because you can't turn off his blazing speed. Lettered and excelled in five sports in high school, including football, where he could have played at a very high collegiate level as a kickoff returner. However, he enjoys baseball the most.
