Scouting Report

6/04/25

Uncommitted. It has been an offensive explosion the last two weeks for Carolina Prime with Nance being one of the catalysts this week. As he would evaporate a no-doubt two-run bomb to the pull-side at 99 EV/ 390 Ft.. Exuding hitterish actions throughout, Nance shows present hand/bat speed with strong feel to manipulate the barrel in an all-fields approach. With plenty of strength to project upon throughout the lean, athletic 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame. The actions throughout the field are amongst some of the best with positional flexibility both in the dirt and in the outfield. High-floor tools litter the profile and show up time and time again during gameplay, Nance brings the type of "gamer" traits that will help any club succeed at the next level.
