Committed: Wake Forest
Bolemon has some of the best pitchability in the class. He’s a strong 6-foot-4 lefty who throws his fastball for strikes to both sides of the plate, running it up to 94 mph and getting good carry from his high three-quarters slot. His spins a sharp, big-breaking curveball with good shape, depth and power into the low 80s. Both his curveball and a slightly harder slider play well off his fastball to get huge swing-and-miss and he has terrific ability to land his breaking pitches for strikes. Bolemon also has good feel for a lively changeup that he can execute at the bottom of the zone, though he mostly carves through hitters at this level with his fastball/breaking ball attack. It’s a starter look with one of the better blends of size, touch and feel for a 2026 pitcher. -

Bolemon is one of the best pitchers in the 2026 class thanks to an impressive combination of polish, stuff and size. Listed at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Bolemon has a muscular build and a repeatable delivery that features a high three-quarters slot. He throws his fastball in the low 90s and has been up to 96 mph, with an advanced feel to spot the pitch to either side of the plate for strikes. Bolemon, likewise, has impressive feel to land multiple breaking balls. He spins a curveball in the 78-84 mph range with great depth and movement and a harder slider in the low 80s that will blend with the curveball at times but has snappy two-plane break at its best. While Bolemon primarily pitches off his fastball and breaking balls, he will throw an occasional mid-80s changeup—primarily to righties. Bolemon was the best pitcher on Team USA’s 2025 18U national team. He led the team with 17 strikeouts in two starts and 11 innings. Bolemon is committed to Wake Forest but has the talent to be selected in the first round.
