Jonah Elms '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jonah Elms. I attend Weatherford High School (Texas), class of 2026. I have a 3.75 GPA and I have taken honors courses and dual credit. I am a proud Native member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. I challenge myself and I care about my academic performance and how it impacts my future beyond baseball.

I started baseball at the age of 10 and love the game and the excitement it has brought to my life. In the field, I generally play 1st or 3rd fielding at .937. During the 2024 season, my batting average was .368, (76 ABs) and as a pitcher, my WH/IP IS 1.759 over 29.0 innings facing 140+ batters.

2024 travel ball started May 31, 2024. For our Ft Worth Cats 16u-Kinder team, our roster was mostly unchanged over the last three seasons. Expectations were high and we played well, finishing with a record of 25-5-2, winning 4 of 6 tournaments. We outscored our opponents to 297–96 losing our five games by a total of nine runs so we played well. For 2025, our travel season starts May 24th in Dallas. I've moved away from the Fort Worth Cats and into the highest caliber 17U TBT Ballers' Scout Team under Coach Hayden Chick, based out of Mansfield, Tx. 

The most important things baseball has taught me are mental and physical discipline, maturity, mindfulness, and how to cope with failure. My father is a commercial pilot and he's always stressed to me the importance of keeping a cool head under pressure. These are characteristics or skills a person must have to be a successful man and baseball player.

Besides baseball, I love adventures with my family, traveling or snow skiing as well as hanging out with close friends or going to the gym.
