LHP Eddie Donnelly (Nazareth) is an intriguing arm-to-follow in the state’s incoming sophomore class. A 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame with present strength and projection still to come, Donnelly displayed easy actions down the mound with a compact and clean arm path out of a high ¾ slot. His fastball played with slight running action, while also mixing in a curveball with slurvy actions. He rounded out his three-pitch mix with a mostly straight change-up. Donnelly had a quality outing, tossing 2 innings with three strikeouts, while walking one, allowing one hit and no runs.
