Track Record: Elissalt was drafted by the Mets in the 19th round in 2024 out of Division II Nova Southeastern in Florida. He made his pro debut following the draft with one appearance for Low-A St. Lucie. He returned to the Florida State League to begin in 2025 and pitched to a 3.02 ERA over 18 appearances. Elissalt was promoted to High-A Brooklyn on July 18 and made two appearances before he was traded to the Cardinals in the Ryan Helsley deal. Elissalt spent the remainder of 2025 with High-A Peoria. He missed two weeks in August with minor biceps tendinitis but returned the final week.
Scouting Report: Elissalt is an athletic righthander who pitches exclusively from the stretch. He has a high leg lift, followed by a long arm action. He fires the ball from a three-quarters arm slot and gets over his front side as he gets downhill. Elissalt throws five pitches in a four-seam fastball, sweeper, slider, splitter and cutter. Elissalt’s four-seam fastball sits 94-96 mph and touches 98 with a flat approach angle and above-average ride. His two breaking ball shapes—a low-80s sweeper and mid-80s gyro slider—see nearly equal usage. Elissalt infrequently mixed in a splitter and a low-90s cutter, but neither pitch is a primary part of his mix. He tended to go two or three innings per start and is unlikely to be a starter long term.
The Future: Elissalt is a future multi-inning reliever.
