UCLA’s Cal Randall in his three appearances against opponents UC Santa Barbara and Minnesota.

Our second reliever in the Stock Talk Chronicles comes from the number one team in the land, right-hander Cal Randall, and his unreal fastball left opponents with no answer three times this past week.

Also getting up to 101 mph, Randall threw his four-seam 57 times of his 61 total pitches over the course of the three games. Again, the fastball is nutty, generating over 2,500 RPM, 19 inches of ride, seven feet of extension, and an elite attack angle.

It’s also worth mentioning that the other four pitches were his changeup. A low-90s weapon that’s also firm and well executed, though it doesn’t create much separation off the elite heater.

Randall will likely make his next appearance for UCLA back at home this coming week, either against Hawaii or Sacramento State.

Arizona State’s Cole Carlon in his Friday start against BYU.

After getting throttled in the series opener 19-9, Carlon helped the Sun Devils on Friday by shoving six scoreless innings and ultimately winning the series.

It was a loud outing for Cole, topping out at 101 mph on his four-seam, being one of only three pitches in 2026 to do so this collegiate season. Generating nearly 16 inches of ride, over a six-and-a-half launch, and thrown for over 70% strikes, opponents had no answer for it.

Carlon’s slider was just as dominant, a pitch with a bullet shape and a firm trajectory. Living 85-88 mph, opponents ended up with both a 50% whiff rate and a chase rate just under 40%.

While these were the two primary pitches in his Friday start, Carlon did throw a rare curveball featuring some downward depth, though again it wasn’t a factor in his outing.

Arguably the best collegiate left-hander in the 2026 class, Cole’s stock is massively surging. Now past the 50-inning mark and already matching last season’s strikeout total, Carlon is set to spearhead Arizona State’s second-half push, with an 11–7 conference record and eyeing more baseball in June.

Carlon will likely make his next start for Arizona State back at home this coming Friday against Baylor.

Cole is #34 on our Top 100 College Prospect Board.

Georgia’s Daniel Jackson in his four games against opponents ETSU and Arkansas.

Continuing his historic season, Daniel Jackson turned in a red-hot week, hitting over .400 with four home runs.

Of his 17 batted balls in the four-game span, he averaged a 96.8 exit speed as well as a hard-hit rate north of 50%. On the road at Arkansas, Daniel blasted bombs off some of the Razorbacks’ top arms, taking Parker Coil deep twice, along with Steele Eaves and Hunter Dietz.

Along with that, it’s obvious that his swing decisions were excellent in the same duration, averaging out a 10% whiff and a 7% chase rate.

Of the four games, Sunday was undoubtedly the best. It was a career stat line for Daniel, going 4-for-6 with 3 home runs, a walk, and 6 RBI.

Even in a ridiculously loaded lineup, Jackson is the catalyst, recording a hit now in 14 of his last 15 games. More importantly, he’s bound to make history soon, likely to become the seventh player in college baseball history to have both 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases.

Jackson will be back in action for Georgia on the road this coming Tuesday against Georgia Tech at Truist Park.

Ole Miss’s Cade Townsend in his Saturday start against Tennessee.

Now 9–2 since April 1, Ole Miss has been a wagon. A big reason why is Townsend, who turned in six strong innings in Knoxville against the surging Vols this past Saturday.

When looking more into the arsenal, there’s a ton of buttery details. Starting with the four-seam fastball, a lively 94-97 mph weapon getting nearly 20 inches of ride as well as averaging over 2,400 RPM.

Cade also incorporates a cutter often, a primary offering against right-handers. A pitch earning a 40% whiff rate with nearly 2,500 RPM, he locates it often to his glove-side, minimizing barrel control with firm, late action.

As far as the offspeeds, there’s more to tell too. First with the slider, it presents true sweep traits, as it got over 8 inches of glove-side action with a 62% whiff rate. Next, an upper-80s splitter, a kill-spin pitch often thrown to lefties and ahead in counts. Lastly, a true 12/6 curveball, living 81-84 mph generating over 12 inches of drop and well executed low in the zone.

Creating a fantastic 1-2 tandem with southpaw Hunter Elliott, Townsend is now at a bonkers 1.73 ERA with a K-BB north of 6.0.

Cade will likely make his next start for Ole Miss back at home this coming Friday against Georgia.

Townsend is #81 on our Top 100 College Prospect Board.

Wake Forest’s Kade Lewis in his four games against opponents Coastal Carolina and NC State.

Talk about loud! First baseman Kade Lewis with over a .700 average with 10 RBI in the Demon Deacons’ 3–1 week.

Across Kade’s 14 batted balls in play, he averaged an average exit speed of 95.2 mph with a hard-hit rate over 75%.

Of his three home runs against NC State, Kade’s most notable was the first one this past Friday: a 109-mph blast off the bat that traveled 430 feet.

Lewis saw right-handed arms very well, tormenting pitches within the lower third of the zone while averaging both an exit speed of 100 mph and an 89% hard-hit rate.

Now having a hit in 11 of his last 12 games as well as leading the Demon Deacons in a plethora of offensive categories, Kade is beginning to lift the ball more often while picking up steam.

Kade will be back in action for Wake Forest back at home this coming Tuesday against UNC Greensboro.

Lewis is #49 on our Top 100 College Prospect Board.

Kansas’s Dominic Voegele in his Saturday start against Oklahoma State.

Setting a new career high in punchouts (15), Voegele gets Kansas a game two victory leading to a road series win in Stillwater.

When evaluating Dominic, it’s a six-pitch mix that has plenty of intrigue. He attacked Oklahoma State’s lineup with both of his fastballs, primarily the mid-90s four-seam. More specifically, it’s a weapon that got over 19 inches of ride with a 30% whiff rate executed often up in the zone. As for the low-90s sinker, it gets plenty of offset with over 16 inches of run that can be thrown against either type of hitter.

The pitch of the outing though has his low-80s curveball. Thrown a third of the time, it earned over an 87% whiff, a 40% chase, and nearly 3,000 RPM, just ridiculous stuff.

Dominic mixed in three other offerings against Oklahoma State this past weekend. First, a low-80s slider, getting north of both 10 inches of sweep and 2,800 RPM. Next, an upper-80s deadspin cambio, presenting true fade and thrown often against left-handers. Lastly, a short-action cutter, living 87-88 mph also primarily tossed against lefties.

Though not the 2026 as currently aspired, it was a thrill to see Dominic step up with his team’s back against the wall in a huge game with lots at stake.

Voegele will likely make his next start for Kansas on the road this coming weekend against Kansas State.

Dominic is #96 on our Top 100 College Prospect Board.

Nebraska’s Case Sanderson in his four games against opponents Creighton and USC.

The biggest series in the Big Ten this past weekend was in Lincoln, with Case Sanderson and the Cornhuskers capping a 4-0 week and now 15-3 in the Big Ten.

Over the weekend against USC, Case finished with a 6-for-13 line with a home run and two doubles. He maxed out with a 111 mph exit speed over the four-game period, good for a 426-foot blast against Grant Govel this past Saturday.

Sanderson was a problem against right-handers all week, averaging an exit speed of 90 mph with only a 6% in-zone whiff rate.

Now up to a .361 average and leading the Cornhuskers in on-base percentage (.500), Sanderson has been a middle-of-the-lineup force who’s seeing everything as of late.

Case will be back in action for Nebraska on the road this coming Tuesday against Kansas.

Hofstra’s Carlos Martinez in his Friday start against UNC Wilmington.

Back on Stock Talk for his second time, Carlos Martinez turned in his best start of 2026, going 6.2 while punching out 15 on the road in Wilmington.

Repping a four-pitch arsenal, Martinez was primarily fastball/curveball in his Friday outing. The fastball was certainly effective, living 92-94 (up to 96) mph with some ride through the zone coupled with six-and-a-half feet of extension.

His best weapon of the outing though was his low-80s curveball. An offspeed offering with intriguing vertical depth, hitters compiled both a wild 61% whiff and 57% chase on the pitch.

Wrapping things up, Martinez incorporated both a changeup and a slider. With the cambio, it’s a low-80s pitch primarily thrown against lefties, presenting good angle with over 15 inches of run. As for the slider, it’s got nearly 10 inches of sweep that’s spun well that’s thrown 82-84 mph, an offering more-so against righties and ahead in counts.

Now through seven starts and nearly 50 punchouts, Martinez is a great example of a mid-major arm with quality start deserving of more buzz.

Carlos will likely make his next start for Hofstra on the road this coming Friday against Northeastern.

Texas A&M’s Gavin Grahovac in his four games against opponents both Houston and LSU.

Still on this unreal heater, Grahovac has now collected two hits in each of his last six games while also on a 13-game hitting streak.

Across Gavin’s 15 batted balls, he averaged a 95-mph exit speed along with a 67% hard-hit rate. Given this information, it’s important to also mention he didn’t face any left-handed arms in this given period.

Along with driving in eight runs, Grahovac maxed out with an exit speed of 109-mph, good for a base knock in game three against LSU. Tormenting anything on the middle-to outer half, Gavin rarely got cheated even against premier velocity.

Now up to over a .500 wOBA in 2026 as well as leading A&M in hits, Gavin has broken out in the best way while surging up boards.

Grahovac will be back in action for Texas A&M back at home this coming Tuesday against UTSA.

Gavin is #51 on our Top 100 College Prospect Board.
