Recruiting Cheat Sheet: Top 10 Uncommitted Junior Arms

Lucas Haas RHP / Valparaiso, IN / 2027

+ From Cooper Trinkle: Our top-ranked uncommitted junior, Haas has appeared to turn a corner through a pair of spring looks. In showcase, his velocities showed steady trends with the familiar silky delivery/arm action that has him regarded highly on our board. My in-game look broughout a pair of scoreless frames where he was in the zone at a 64% clip and struck out 4. He is a lean, wiry, 6-foot-3, 170-pounder with ample projection as the shoulders are starting to widen. He pitched at 89-90 in the first, before settling at 87-89 in the second frame; FB plays with some sink. 82-83 CH was his go-to secondary, a quality offering playing with late fade that he controlled well. The breaking ball has made advancements and flashed a swing-and-miss look as he swept it at 75-78. The overall stuff continues to advance, and should do nothing but that in the future as strength is added, the control has taken a step up, and the secondaries are following suit, as well.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 1-1 W/L, 5.13 ERA, 15 IP, 18 H, 5 BB, 22 K's.

Elijah Hall RHP / Noblesville High School, IN / 2027

+ From Conner Madding: I caught Hall in an early season scrimmage, one of the top uncommitted juniors in the state. A strong, 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-hander, he operates from a simple, stretch-only delivery with a clean, full-circle arm swing. He worked 89–91 mph and touched 92 in a five-batter look, showing feel to locate a fastball that featured some cut. His go-to secondary was a 78–80 mph slider with sweep and some depth, generating swings and misses. He also flashed an 88 mph cutter once that tunneled well off the fastball. Hall did not turn to the changeup in this outing, as he continues to develop feel for the pitch. He punched out three of the five hitters he faced, operating with a low-pulse demeanor throughout. Hall has allowed just 2 earned runs in 14 innings pitched early on this spring with 21 strikeouts and just 5 walks. With a strike-throwing track record and quality stuff, Hall continues to solidify himself as a high-follow arm in the 2027 class.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 2-1 W/L, 2.33 ERA, 21 IP, 14 H, 10 BB, 35 K's.

Chase Gothrup RHP / William Henry Harrison High School, IN / 2027

+ From Cooper Trinkle: Gothrup is a high-floor righty that I would consider as one of my top bets to be a next-level SP. He lifts in-balance and uses a shorter cross body step that is controlled, and a clean/quick arm follows in a continous manner. He pitched at 87-89 early, and settled at 85-88, with arm-side life and carry on the FB. His breaking ball is a quality offering that he can both land and get chase with; 75-76 mph offering with tight downer break for an 11/5 shape. He showed a 76 mph change that is a usable third, but didn't go to it as often vs a lineup full of RHHs. The polished command, room for strength in an athletic 6-foot-1 ish frame, and pitch mix should allow him to make an instant impact at the college level. 

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 1-1 W/L, 0.69 ERA, 20.1 IP, 15 H, 4 BB, 25 K's. 

Isaac Gill RHP / Marian High School, IN / 2027

+ From Conner Madding: One of my favorite arms still on the board, Gill features an athletic, ultra-projectable 6-foot-5, 180-pound frame. The operation is raw but athletic, lifting to a moderate balance point before moving down the mound with ease. The arm action is full and works quick and clean. He worked at 84-88 mph with two fastball shapes, mixing a sinker at 84-85 and a four-seam at 85-88 mph with easy intent. His slider at 72-75 mph had some sweep and he demonstrated solid feel to land it. An upside offering that can really improve with refinements. Gill also showed a fading changeup at 76-79 mph that he used to both right and left-handed hitters. I loved the low-effort operation, arm action, and his ability to compete over the plate. Gill’s ceiling is very high and we’ll continue to monitor him very closely as the spring progresses.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 1-0 W/L, 0.84 ERA, 19 IP, 21 H, 3 BB, 31 K's.

‘27 Isaac Gill (@isaacgill05) exits after 5 IP - 7 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 7 K.

Jack Kunas RHP / Munster, IN / 2027

+ From Cooper Trinkle: One of my favorite arms left on the board; projectable 6-foot-2, 190-pounder with physicality beginning to emerge. Athletic, well-sequenced delivery lands square to home as a loose, whippy arm stroke is powered to a high 3/4 slot. The fastball is what I like best - he controls it to all parts of the zone at 88-90 and up to 91 in this look. The FB plays with big ride/run life to get above barrels and he got good hitters to swing-and-miss on it in this look. His breaking ball played at 72-74 with some shape manipulation. At times, the breaking ball looked more like an 11/5 CB, while others were more sweepy. He controlled both pitches well, and there is a usable change in the bag. His velos have trended steadily, but the strike-throwing nature remains. 

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 1-0 W/L, 3.10 ERA, 29.1 IP, 24 H, 17 BB, 29 K's.

Griffin Snider RHP / Noblesville High School, IN / 2027

+ From Conner Madding: Snider is an athletic, 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-hander with plenty of room to add strength. The uncommitted arm showed well among a deep Noblesville staff in a scrimmage look. He worked 88–90 mph and touched 91 twice (T 92 in relief look later in spring), showing heavy, turbo sink in on right-handed hitters hands. He paired it with a sharp 78–80 mph slider that showed sweep and projects as a potential wipeout offering. Snider moves athletically down the mound with a loose, quick arm action from a ¾ slot. He showed solid command of the two-pitch mix in this look, a positive step forward compared to previous in-game looks. With swing-and-miss stuff and what seems to be improving control, Snider is an uncommitted arm we’ll continue to monitor very closely.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 0-1 W/L, 0.89 ERA, 15.2 IP, 12 H, 4 BB, 28 K's.

Eli Shoppell RHP / Homestead Senior, IN / 2027

+ From Conner Madding: I got my second look at Shoppell in another high-leverage relief appearance. The wiry 6-foot-2, 170-pounder entered with two on and one out in a 2-0 count. He walked the first batter he faced before striking out the next two to escape the jam. He leaned heavily on a 74–77 mph breaking ball with bite, generating swing-and-miss while also showing the ability to land it confidently. The fastball had life, touching 91 mph once, 90 once, and sitting 89 mph a few times. He also buried an 83 mph changeup in a limited look. I love the competitive nature he brings, paired with standout arm speed, quality spin, and athleticism. Shoppell remains one of my favorite uncommitted right-handers I've seen this spring.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 2-0 W/L, 1.83 ERA, 15.1 IP, 6 H, 11 BB, 22 K's. 

Jaylen Wells-Henderson RHP / New Albany Senior High School, IN / 2027

+ From Cooper Trinkle: I saw a start from Wells-Henderson versus Center Grove in late-April & he showed a bit of a velo jump compared to last fall. His statline from this look was less-than stellar, getting chased in the third by a powerful lineup, but his exit was more-due to hits than an erratic-nature. He touched 90 early in the start, was up to 88 a couple times, but pitched mostly at 85-87 with the fastball. He blended a pair of breaking balls that ranged from 74-82; best breaking balls were tightly-spun, upper-70s sliders that played with late gloveside break. He also showed a 79-81 CH that he had feel for. Jaylen is one of, if not the best athlete on this list and that in combination with a leaner 6-foot-3 frame that projects well leaves me bullish on continued development. A projection pick, the delievery is still raw, but the arm is loose and jumps could come quickly for the young-for-class super athlete. 

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 2-1 W/L, 6.18 ERA, 22.2 IP, 24 H, 17 BB, 22 K's.  

‘27 Jaylen Wells-Henderson (@jaylen_wellshen) got hit around early, settled for a zero in the 2nd, and left in the 3rd.

6’3” athletic. Up to 90 early, settled 84-87. Tight SL played in the upper 70s; 79-81 CH

Henry Haley RHP / Cathedral High School, IN / 2027

+ From Cooper Trinkle: I got a scrimmage look at Haley, who is another junior arm that is trending well. He was 89-90 for his first three batters, before settling at more of an 86-89 range as the velos ticked down from the stretch. He flashed a quality breaking ball at 79-80 with two-plane bite. At times the breaking ball blended into a hanger, but a few had real bite and looked like a S/M offering. He faced only righties, but showed at least an average change at 80 mph. The strong, athletic, 6-foot-1, 195-pounder showed more control than command; I have him profiled as a reliever at the next level with a chance for three swing-and-miss pitches at some point. 

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 3-1 W/L, 3.06 ERA, 16 IP, 10 H, 9 BB, 25 K's. 

Luke Haley RHP / Homestead Senior High School, IN / 2027

+ From Conner Madding: Haley went six innings in my look against one of the state’s top lineups, allowing eight hits, two walks, and three earned runs while striking out three. The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder works to a moderate balance point with an inward turn into a simple move down the slope; the front hip will open early at times. The arm works clean on the backside with present arm speed. The fastball played at 85–88 mph early before settling into the 84–86 mph range. He mixed a 74–77 mph slider with sweep and occasional depth, flashing sharper movement at times. The 81–83 mph cutter played well off the slider and is a solid offering in the arsenal. Haley rounded out the four-pitch mix with a sinking 78–81 mph changeup, showing solid feel for it. Overall, I liked the four shapes from the young-for-class righty and his ability to compete in and around the zone.

2026 Stats thru 4/29/26: 2-1 W/L, 3.27 ERA, 15 IP, 14 H, 8 BB, 15 K's
