Donovan arrives from New Mexico Junior College as one of the nation’s premier JUCO arms. At NMJC, he earned national notice for his fastball topping out at 97 mph and was ranked the number one JUCO pitcher in the country by Prep Baseball Report during the 2024–25 preseason.

During the 2024 season, he notched 57 strikeouts and established himself as a key fixture on national JUCO watch lists, consistently showing dominance on the mound.

Eagle Pass High School produced this flame-throwing prospect, who sharpened his command and pitch mix against elite competition, including the TX–NM JCBCA All-Star Game where he fired triple digits. His performances solidified his commitment to Texas Tech in 2025.

Armed with an explosive arsenal—heater backed by a sharp breaking ball—Donovan is expected to make an immediate impact in Lubbock. His size, velocity, and resilience under pressure align well with Coach Tim Tadlock’s philosophy and the Red Raiders’ tradition of pitching excellence.

Off the mound, Donovan brings a mature work ethic and dedication to his development, ready to thrive in Texas Tech’s high-performance culture both athletically and academically.
