Elvis Presley as a baseball player: scouting report
Elvis Presley would play center field, and the reason is karate. He took up the martial art seriously while serving in the Army in Germany and went on to earn a black belt, and that kind of footwork is a gift for an outfielder: balanced, explosive and ready to break in any direction the moment the ball leaves the bat. Speed is the top mark on his card, so he covers ground from gap to gap.
His fielding sits right beside the speed, and it carries a showman's sense of timing. The young man from Tupelo, Mississippi who recorded at Sun Records in Memphis and came out with a sound nobody had quite heard before would make a diving catch look like part of the act. At the plate his contact and his eye are both strong, so he can lead off, slap line drives through the infield and then go to work on the bases. There is a little pop in the bat too, enough to keep pitchers from pounding the zone.
The arm is the honest weakness. Runners will go first to third on him, so pair him with a strong armed right fielder and let him run down everything in the middle. If you need an infielder instead, he moves to second base with only a small drop, and shortstop is playable. Draft him as a top of the order catalyst in the early middle rounds and let the King of Rock and Roll do what he did on every stage he ever played: cover all of it.
