Osvaldo Nunez, Notre Dame High School (CA), 2026 Positional Profile: RHP/1B Rising arm who shows quality present FB velocity, impressive CHG and emerging SLD that has a starters profile with a high ceiling Body: 6-4, 190-pounds. Prototype pitcher build with strength in lower half and room to fill still Delivery: Lower hand set with small movement as it syncs with the front leg in the load portion of delivery. Front leg leads down the mound with athletic easy operation. Uses hips well while flashing feel to block on his front side. Arm Action: RH. Short compact arm path out of the glove with present quick arm speed that works to more of a 3/4 release point with minimal recoil after release. FB: T92, 89-91 mph. Firm FB which has really good spin and the shape has both ride and run especially when thrown up in the zone T2473, 2307 average rpm. SL: 73-76 mph. Emerging SLD which is starting to show better spin to go with horizontal sweep that can be a glove side moving offering with potential T2297, 2191 average rpm. CH: 81-83 mph. Deceptive CHG with heavy fade to the arm side and ability to kill spin. Picks up whiff and soft contact on it. T1713, 1662 average rpm.

Nunez entered the event as one of the most highly regarded arms in attendance at the Notre Dame righthander did not disappoint whatsoever. In fact, he reached a new personal best hitting 92 MPH with his FB while mixing in an ever improving SLD which is starting to gain velocity and life as he gains improved feel for it. Plus, like Newhouse above Nunez throws a highly intriguing CHG which he turns over with deception to get swing/miss - chase - soft contact from hitters. Nunez was touched for a hit after a deep count by Oregon Commit Brady Hewitt who went down and got a 3-2 SLD low away for a single and missed with a SLD for HBP, but picked up multiple Ks and showed once again why he is on the rise in Southern California and the entire state.
