Jace Ziola brings mid-90s velocity and a fast-rising arm to Nebraska
Ziola is a high-upside **right-handed pitcher** whose calling card is elite arm speed, a fastball that has worked in the **94-96 mph** range and touched higher in showcase settings, plus a breaking ball with real sweep and bat-missing potential.[7][9] Nebraska lists him as a **6-foot-3, 200-pound freshman** in 2026, and scouting reports praise his long, athletic frame, quick arm action, and improving feel for secondary pitches, which give him starter-level projection if his command keeps trending up.[2][9] He’s the kind of power arm that can change a bullpen fast and fits best with teams that value upside, development, and strike-throwing growth.[1][9]
