A wiry, 6-foot-1, 161-pound frame with room to fill out, Sell gave an intriguing look on the mound Saturday. Working with a three-pitch mix, the fastball sat 83-84 mph, the curveball was 70-73 mph, and the changeup was 75-78 mph. Quick short-arm action from an easy, fluid delivery. Sell was able to command and mix all three pitches with ease.

+ RHP Nolan Sell (West De Pere, 2026) put himself on the map with his performance on the mound on Saturday. This is our staff’s first viewing of the junior right-hander. Sell created some cross fire deception to his delivery with a low 3/4 slot and was up to 85 mph with the heater. His 75 mph slider showcased some late horizontal breaking action in the zone which would make it extremely difficult to cover for a right-handed hitter. He rounded out his arsenal with a running change up at 80 mph. It was a very intriguing look at Nolan Sell for our staff and he will be monitored going forward.
