Sam
Donko

10/9/12 Donko, an uncommitted senior, traveled from Ohio to showcase his abilities. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound right-handed hitter used one of the top bat exit speeds of the event (90mph) to drive baseballs to all fields during an impressive round of batting practice. Donko went to the mound in the fourth inning of Game #2 and immediately gained the attention of everyone in the stadium. Donko used a high 3/4 delivery to light up the radar gun and send hitter after hitter back to the dugout. In two innings of work, he yielded one hit while striking out six. Donko sat 88-89mph with his fastball. He also utilized an 11/5 breaking curveball at 75mph and a 78mph slider that is a plus out pitch. Donko's fastball has good late life and is thrown with very good rhythm. Donko was named the MVP of the Red Team for his efforts.
