Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 16 in the state and got the start for the Caravan on Monday. An athletic and projectible 6-foot-3, 193-pound right-hander who also plays basketball for the Caravan in the winter. Elenteny is a loose mover on the mound with a loose arm that has some arm-speed out front from a ¾ slot. His fastball sat 87-90, touching 91 once in the second inning, before settling in at 83-86 mph late in the game. He flashed a mid 70’s curveball that had slurve action to it with a knack to spin (2500-2700 rpm). He also tossed in a changeup at 82 mph. Elenteny will continue to be a sophomore to know in the state going forward.
