Conor Donahue: RHP/3B, (2026) Rogers High School, RI. 6-foot, 170-pound athletic projectable frame. Begins in an athletic stance with a smooth load, then uses a controlled stride. Bat speed is efficient, displays an uphill swing plane and balanced finish. He barreled up lots of balls with loud contact. Aggressive approach. Fluid projectable in the infield, displayed a velocity of 82 mph; shows next level hands, a quick exchange, and athletic feet. Laterally, movements were athletic and fielded the ball out front. Used a short quick arm action and an-over-the-top slot while showing consistent accuracy to the base. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 7.57. Advanced projectable on the mound, showed an over-the-top arm angle and a very quick arm action with lightning arm speed. Feel type pitcher and uses some effort. Showed strong balance point with uphill shoulders. Lands soft with balanced finish. (Max spin 2007; Avg 1930).
