JP Elbert is a 2027 C/RHP, 2B, 3B, SS, MIF, IF, OF, UT with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Dubuque, IA who attends Wahlert. He has a good frame with an athletic build and room to further fill out. Ran the 40-Yard Dash in 5.40 seconds. Primary catcher that starts with a square stance and showed twitchy actions behind the plate. He attacks his throws and covers ground towards second base well. He has a loose shoulder and creates nice whip on his throws that allow him to get the ball to second quickly. Secondary right-handed pitcher that uses a knee to belt leg kick and works in line with the plate nicely. He has a medium arm action and delivers from a 3/4 arm slot. His delivery is smooth and he is able to repeat it consistently. He does a nice job of moving his fastball to all four quadrants and sequences his off speed well. His slider has solid sweeping action through the hitting zone. His curveball has 11/5 shape with nice depth that drops off the table. His changeup showed nice velocity difference, making it tough to square up. Right-handed hitter that starts with a narrow base and high back elbow. He uses a toe tap trigger for timing and has a deep hand load. He features nice hand speed at the plate that allows him to generate plenty of barrel speed through the zone. He stays short to the baseball and looks to hit the ball hard back up the middle. Excellent student. Named to the 2024 Iowa Indoor Showcase Top Prospect List.
