Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

Uncommitted, Semmelmann went 4-for-6 on the week with a home run and five total RBIs.
Uncommitted, Semmelmann tossed an impressive outing in front of our staff striking out six batters in 4.1 innings. You can find a full report on Semmelmann’s outing in the Wisconsin Week 2 Scout Blog.
The 6-foot-1, 176-pound left-hander is one of the top pitchers in the state’s class of 2026. An athletic mover on the mound that has shown the ability to repeat his delivery across an extended outing which has helped his ability to command his pitches. His fastball got up to 87 mph early in his outing and sat 84-86 throughout. Semmelmann was able to locate his fastball to both his arm-side and glove-side in this look and earned swings-and-misses in the zone. Semmelmann was confident in his low-70s curveball that is another swing-and-miss offering for him and showed feel to throw to both sides of the plate against both handed batters. Rounding off his pitch mix Semmelmann showed a low-80s changeup that he threw to both handed batters, flashing like a potential weapon against any hitter once he gains more feel of the pitch. A rising arm in the class of ‘26 Semmelmann will be one to follow across his prep career as he matures both physically and on the mound.

Arguably the top ‘pen of the day was brought by the long-levered southpaw LHP Colton Semmelmann (Brookfield Central, 2026). At a lean 6-foot, 176 pounds, Semmelman is a athletic and clean mover downhill, pairing with an ultra-loose arm that brought some lively offerings. His fastball, which sat in the upper-80s and reached 88.6 mph, is a lively pitch in its own right; playing with life out of the hand and through the zone while averaging over 14” of vertical break. Off of his fastball, Semmelman spun in a swing-and-miss breaking ball with sharp 1/7 action and late depth. Rounding out his three-pitch mix was a fading changeup thrown at arm speed and out of the same window as his fastball. Our staff has long been intrigued with Semmelman’s upside on the bump for some time now. After his ‘pen on Saturday it is apparent that he is starting to tap into that upside and it is safe to say he is just starting to scratch the surface of what his ceiling could ultimately be.
LHP/INF Colton Semmelmann (Brookfield Central, 2026), listed at 5-foot-10, 145 pounds, provided our staff another interesting look this past weekend in Waukesha. On the mound, the freshman displayed a quick and loose arm on a fastball that reached an 80.1 mph high, featuring arm-side life. His curveball has 2/8 shape with depth and a sharpness to it, and his feel to spin is advanced for his age, generating rates that exceed 2,400 rpm. Semmelmann’s slider had a similar shape to the curve, and had a max spin rate of 2,302 rpm. To round out his four-pitch arsenal, Semmelmann’s changeup flashed cutter movement and he was able to find it in and around the zone. At the plate, he showed a free and easy swing from the left side.

Semmelmann first caught our attention at The Rock during the Summer Championships. There the southpaw impressed with an athletic and repeatable delivery all while running his fastball to the upper 70’s and mixed in a steady amount of big 1/7 breaking balls that earned some awkward swings and misses. Although he isn’t on the initial rankings for this 2026 class, there is no reason why Semmelmann won’t make a big splash in later updates as he continues to develop.
A lanky 5-foot-8, 145-pound southpaw that was impressive for this GRB Rays MKE squad. Semmelmann is an athletic mover on the mound with a loose, whippy arm. He ran his fastball up to 78 mph and sat anywhere from 75-77 mph that played with some arm side run. He coupled this with a big 1/7 breaker that produced many swings and misses. An impressive outing from a young southpaw in Wisconsin’s ‘26 class and Semmelmann will be a name to closely monitor as he starts his prep career.
