Today we’ll highlight Francis Howell’s uncommitted senior backstop Jaxson Elder, the 125th overall prospect in Missouri’s 2021 class.

A proportionally strong 5-foot-10, 175-pound right-handed hitter, Elder attended our St. Louis Open event back in October, where he was one of several ranked prospects from Missouri and Illinois in attendance.

You can find his full profile, including his scouting report from that event, down below:
