RHP Jonathan Urban (Wauwatosa West, 2026) offered some intriguing metrics and pitchability during our annual event in the Madison area. From an athletic and simple delivery, Urban’s fastball topped at 83.4 mph but was spun at an above average clip (avg. 2,485 RPM). His slider, which was spun at a similar band, played sharpness while sitting in the low-70s. Rounding out his three-pitch mix was a deceptive changeup that was thrown with fastball intent, and played with late depth.

On the mound, he showed athleticism with a fastball that sat 78-81 mph with quality spin (2,143 avg.) and running action. His slider showed 11/5 actions, and he slightly dropped his arm slot on the pitch. Rounding out his mix, he threw a changeup that flashed fade and depth resulting in 12’ of induced vertical break and 12.1’ of horizontal movement, on average.

Urban demonstrated advanced feel for spin from a loose arm that projects as he’s obviously only just beginning to develop as a prospect; listed at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds. His ‘pen on Tuesday evening was among the most impressive we’ve seen across our Rising Stars ID events. There, Urban reached a 79.6 mph high while averaging a spin rate over 2300 rpm. And his ability to spin to different kinds of breaking balls effectively is a skill that’s already way beyond his years. Urban uses both a slider and curve that look a little different from each other – the slider is more aggressive, 67-70 mph, with sharp horizontal action that reached a max spin rate of 2408 rpm. The curve features slightly less spin, but greater vertical movement, and he spotted both pitches particularly well for a player his age, handling that kind of spin.
