Old Dominion’s 6-2 sophomore RHP brings power potential and a fresh arm
In 2026, Jackson Runyon is listed as a 6-2, 190-pound sophomore right-hander for Old Dominion, and the appeal is obvious: he’s a young arm with starter-size frame and room to keep building velocity and command. His background includes a return from Tommy John surgery, which makes his development arc especially interesting, and scouting notes from his own public profile list a fastball in the 87-91 mph range with a slider, curveball, and changeup in the mix. He looks like a fit for a staff that values upside, resilience, and multi-pitch feel over instant polish.
