Notre Dame’s ace turned first-round arm
In the 2026 season, Jack Radel was Notre Dame’s Friday ace and one of the most dominant starters in the country, finishing with a 3.29 ERA, 116 strikeouts, 8 wins, and 87.2 innings before being taken 28th overall in the 2026 MLB Draft. He stands out for run prevention, strike-throwing, and bat-missing stuff—he also earned All-ACC First Team, All-American, and Pitcher of the Week honors, plus a 38-batter retired streak. If you want a high-upside RHP with polish, durability, and ace-level competitive edge, this is your guy.
