When we think "spin to win", we think about some of the nastiest pitches in all of baseball. From a vintage Clayton Kershaw curveball, to Garrett Crochet's sweeper. 🌀

Below we give our thoughts on the class of '26 group of arms with impressive spin rates to see 👇

Thank you @PrepBaseballOH for the recognition as a top uncommitted two-way prospect.

Earlier this week PBR also made a post about me being a top uncommitted arm.

We can all agree that Shohei Otani is one of a kind, a unicorn as you would say. Who are the HS versions with two-way potential? 🦄

Uncommitted 2026 arm to keep an eye on. Athletic competitor with big upside. Competes in the zone and kid can spin it. Hard worker with high character and high motor - will be an asset at the next level.

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

The numbers for 2026 RHP @Jake_Donaldson7 are clear, but his ability to control the strike zone, compete and get outs, and his focus and effort on the training floor and the weight room are what really stands out.

A real good uncommitted 2026. 📈

[Jake Donaldson @Jake_Donaldson7]

Still Uncommitted.

Thanks for the time, @pitchingschool. Always appreciate and enjoy diving into the analytics and biomechanics. The Rapsodo feedback is always a great study and reinforcement. Really appreciate the great session!

[Mike Grady @pitchingschool]

It was great working with 2026 RHP/INF Jake Donaldson (@Jake_Donaldson7 ) this week as he got some training in between outings during his fall season.

We focused on building athletic movements off the mound comparing his positions at foot strike from both a shuffle throw and his mound delivery. The goal was to tighten up his lower-half sequencing and ensure his delivery stays efficient. A biomechanics analysis showed us his pelvis, trunk, and shoulder rotational velocities to further help with the training focus.

On the mound, our emphasis was on mixing all pitches and executing sequences including the FB, SL, and CH.

Jake sat 85 mph at 90% effort, showing an easy 87–88 mph in-game potential with a slider spinning in the high 2000s.

2026 RHP @Jake_Donaldson7 | Hoover HS

FB: 82-85
SL: 70-73
CH: 74

Fast, explosive arm w/ some legit “stuff” on the mound. Quick paced in everything he does.

*Have seen the FB in the upper 80s (multiple) ⛽️

SL showed high SR & sharp/late bite.
