Washington Uncommitted Spotlight - '26 OF/RHP Jacob Nold
October 27, 2025
As we continue through the fall showcase season, Prep Baseball Washington features an Uncommitted Spotlight, where we highlight standout performers that attended a Prep Baseball ID event this year. Uncommitted spotlights are meant to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
This week, we spotlight '26 OF/RHP Jacob Nold. The senior out of Tahoma High School was most recently seen at the Seattle Summer Review this August.
A versatile 5'11 athlete, Nold's showcase was highlighted by a 6.87 60-yard dash time and exit velocities up to 96.7 MPH. Below is a complete breakdown of the player, including scouting reports and video from the event.
