Connor McDonald (28 NV) tall, lanky frame with a quick arm, working the fastball (84-86) with some sink to the arm side. Working it with a sharp 12-6 curveball with good depth to it and flashed a change-up to keep the hitters off balanced. #JrNational @PG_FourCorners

7/18/26 - Started our final pool play game in the

Had a great time at the @PerfectGameUSA National Showcase. Hit a personal best 87 MPH. Didn't allow any hits over the two innings pitched and managed to strike out three batters on all fastballs. What a way to get the summer started.

‘28 RHP Connor McDonald (Palo Verde)

FB - 82-84, commands in/out
CB - 70-71, more 12/6
SL - 72-75, late tighter action
CH- 70-72, locates down in zone

The sophomore right-hander cruises through his first 4 IP against a stout Centennial lineup, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 4. Present pitchability, throws all of his pitches for strikes, nothing straight #BeSeen
