Some of the underlying metrics further credit Nelson's offensive skill, finishing in the top ten of players attended in hand speed and rotational acceleration.

The talented senior also ran a 6.59 60-time and had 87 MPH throws across the infield, both significant gains since his previous showcase look. Nelson will look to build off his exceptional junior campaign in which he hit over .500 with 13 HR and 63 RBI, hoping to lead South Salem to a 6A state title.

Below is Nelson's complete player profile breakdown.
