Johnny Elliott gives Tulane a steady, two-way-ish backstop with contact bat and improving pop
In the 2026 season, Tulane catcher Johnny Elliott appeared in 30 games with 22 starts and hit .240 with 9 runs, 18 hits, 5 doubles, 1 home run, and 8 RBIs, while handling 213 chances with a .972 fielding percentage[1][5]. He’s not a headline-grabbing slugger, but he brings size, experience, and a catcher’s value package: dependable defense, enough bat-to-ball skill to keep innings alive, and a growing feel for impact as he showed more production in 2025 (.271 in 33 games at USC) before settling into a support role for Tulane[2][3].
