Career

Ellington attended Oak Hall School in Gainesville, Florida. He had committed to attend Florida State University on a schoarlship to play college baseball for the Florida State Seminoles. He underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2007, and decommitted from Florida State due to differences of opinion on how he should rehabilitate his arm after the surgery. He enrolled at Chipola College and transferred to Florida State College at Jacksonville, before finishing his collegiate career at the University of West Florida.[1]

The Miami Marlins selected him in the 16th round of the 2012 MLB Draft.[1] Ellington played for the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League in 2014. After the regular season, he was assigned to the Salt River Rafters Arizona Fall League (AFL), and appeared in the AFL Fall Stars Game.[2]

In 2015, Ellington played for the Jacksonville Suns of the Class AA Southern League.[3] That summer, Ellington was chosen to play for the United States national baseball team in the 2015 Pan American Games.[4]

The Marlins promoted Ellington to the major leagues on August 3, 2015.[5] He made his major league debut that night.
