CLASS OF 2027

Uncommitted. It was a really intriguing look at Donaldson out of the pen for 643 as he would go toe to toe with a potent opposing lineup. Arm speed stood out from the jump in a lean, high-waisted 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame. Donaldson moves extremely well down the mound with fluid, repeatable mechanics and creates excellent extension. Fastball sat 87-88 (T89 MPH) with easy life out of the hand and arm-side run. Wipeout slider created sharp depth at 75-76 and tunneled well off the fastball. Changeup was worked in at 77-79. Donaldson looks poised to be a big piece for a Knights squad that made a Final Four run last Spring.
