Nick Hunkele: RHP/OF, (2023) Notre Dame West Haven, CT. Merrimack College Commit, 5-foot-11, 183-pound strong build. Projectable and athletic during batting practice, Hunkele's best exit velocity was 93 mph. (69.8 mph bat speed average). (21.1 mph hand speed average). Began in a balanced athletic stance with a wrapping load, then used a small stride. Bat speed is quick, displays an uphill loose swing plane and good extension on his finish. In his round he found multiple barrels with loud contact. Aggressive approach. Above average athletic on the mound, showed a ¾ arm angle and a loose quick arm action with quick above average arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Showed consistent balance point and in line shoulders. Lands closed with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 86-87 mph; showed control arm side around the zone and running action. (Max spin 2104; Avg 2003). Throws a sharp curveball (75-78) that has glove side in the zone control and sweeping action. (Max spin 1771; Avg 1605).

5-foot-11, 180-pound, lean athletic frame, with good strength throughout. A right-handed pitcher, arm is super fresh, still in beginning stages of being converted from catcher to pitcher. The delivery is compact, and builds a good amount of energy down the mound. The lift is athletic, square and athletic finish. The arm works from a natural slot, fastball touched 88 mph, located to both sides, with action to arm side. Threw two above average breaking balls, slider at 77 mph and curveball at 75 mph. Works quick and attacks. Good looking arm.
