Colin
Doyle

Verbally committed to Duke.

RHP Colin Doyle (Downers Grove North, 2026) is an imposing, long-limbed, 6-foot-7, 215-pound frame, and he showed why he has one of the highest ceilings in the 2026 class. The right-hander on the mound is a loose, easy mover, working on a line with a drop and drive motion. The arm works loose and quick, with full-circle arm action from a lower ¾ slot. Showcasing a three-pitch mix, the fastball was sitting 86-88 mph, easy out of the hand, with 18.6 IVB and slight cut with 4.8 inches of horizontal movement. The slider was 72-74 mph, a gyro profile with 2400 RPMs. The changeup was 80-81 mph with arm-side run, dropping of from the fastball. In-game, Doyle showed some command struggles, but was able to find himself deeper into his outing, pounding the zone with fastballs.

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 26 in the state. 6-foot-6, 204-pound frame, athletic with lean strength, more room to add, basketball background. Started on the mound in a big conference matchup and earned the complete game win, firing seven innings with five hits, two earned runs, four walks and seven strikeouts. He moves well for his size with a controlled tempo into a medium leg-lift, slight drop/drive downhill while working in-line, smooth and clean mover, repeats well for size and is mostly in-sync. Arm plays with a clean and medium circle out of the glove, uninterrupted, high ¾ release. The fastball really jumps out of the hand and plays up through the zone, collecting swing and miss in the zone as well as some chases up, 86-89 mph early, topped out at 90 mph in the third inning. Curveball flashed sharp action and depth at 73-75 mph, opposing hitters had a tough time picking it up whether it be with takes or bad swings. High-ceiling arm that seems to just be scratching the surface.

Uncommitted. 6-foot-6, 204-pound frame, long-levered with plenty more room to add as he matures. Came out of the ‘pen and gave an ultra-intriguing look, striking out two without allowing a hit or run. The big right-hander controls his levers well for his size and repeats with ease, fluid mover with a controlled tempo, competed in the zone with his fastball while playing 84-87 mph, collected swing/miss and attacked. High-follow name to know.

SS/RHP Colin Doyle (Downers Grove North, 2027) made his PBR event debut last month at Providence Catholic High School and impressed. Doyle’s frame stands out for his age standing in a projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame. He controlled his long levers on the mound, showing clean actions and feel for his three-pitch mix. His fastball sat 76-79 mph, topping out at 79.8 mph with 87% spin efficiency. His curveball has 11/5 shape with short actions, but he finds it in and around the strike zone. Doyle’s change-up has some fading actions, and he kills the spin, too (1567 rpm). Intriguing at the plate, he has a natural uphill swing, almost exclusively sending balls up the middle and to the pull-side. Showed fluid actions in the infield working in rhythm throughout.
