Will
Hynes

2026 RHP Will Hynes (Wake Forest commit) flashed some of the better stuff we saw at the event. 6-foot-1, 170-pound right-hander generated plenty of uncomfortable swings with his three-pitch mix as the fastball sat 85-87mph with armside run. Tight spin to the slider at 76-80mph along with an impressive change at 81mph with heavy horizontal action. Commanded all three pitches and each have different movement patterns and characteristics. One of the top 2026 arms in the country and the quality of his offspeed stuff and has really trended upwards this past year.

2026 Will Hynes was dominant on the mound for the OBJ 16U’s in Game 2 of their doubleheader Sunday night. He was blowing the FB by hitters early and often working ahead in the count, generating in-zone swing-and-miss and inducing weak contact throughout his outing while mixing in some CH’s with late, heavy fade that was difficult to pick up. His final line was 5 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 7 K. It was an impressive look at the Wake Forest commit early on in the 2023 season as Hynes will be a close follow for the next few years as the No.1 2026 in the province.
