Uncommitted, currently No. 52 in the state’s junior class. Standing at an proportional and athletic 6-foot, 185 pounds. Got the ball to start, tossed 4.2 innings striking out 11 batters while allowing two hits and two walks, carrying a no-hitter into the fourth. Repeatable delivery on the mound, finding the zone consistently with his entire arsenal. Fluid mover working in sync, locating a low-80s T84 mph fastball throughout the zone with ease. Confident in both his breaking ball and changeup, will throw them in any count and against both handed batters. The breaking ball played in the low-70s with big 2/8 action earning whiffs in the zone, Tamboli threw his changeup with intent at 76-77 mph with different action off the fastball with late diving action at the plate.

+ LHP Joseph Tamboli (Sun Prairie East, 2026) is an athletic left-handed pitcher with some upside with his frame and a quick arm. Tamboli, showed an impressive 6 mph increase in his fastball velocity since last year's showcase, reaching 86 mph with the ability to command the zone. He also displayed a consistent two-plane breaking curveball (72-74 mph) that landed in the zone, a slider (74-75 mph) thrown for strikes, and a late running changeup (76-78 mph) as a useful fourth pitch. Our staff believes that Tamboli has the potential for further development in the near future.
