Spotlight on PA Top Prospect Games Participant Sam Donko



                             Sam Donko, RHP, Younstown Ursiline HS, Class of 2013          

                                           Sam Donko

Donko is an unsigned RHP from Youngstown (OH) Ursline HS who is ranked No. 39 in the Class of 2013 by PBR Ohio. The 6-foot-1, 235-pounder jumped onto the PBR radar in July when he attended a Top Prospect Showcase in Ohio and showcased a fastball that sat at 86 mph and reached up to 88 several times. In addition, he demonstrated command of multiple off-speed pitches. His curveball sat 70-72 mph with late 11/5 break; he also threw a sharp slider in the low 70s; and a change up at 76-79 mph.

Donko will be just one of many power arms at the PA Top Prospect Games, but he may be the top uncommitted pitcher to register to date. With only ten days left to register it is likely that Donko could be one of the more sought after prospects at this event.
