3/18/25
Athletic, 5-foot-10, 160 pounder. Used an up-tempo, efficient delivery that lands square and finishes with balance. Loose, quick arm slings to 3/4 slot with abv avg arm speed. I loved the present feel for the zone & quality shape on three pitches. The 84-86 fastball came out with life and spun in the 2400s with some ride & run, setting the tunnel for a very solid changeup that he killed spun on at 78-80 mph with late fade, and an above average slider that played with sweeper shape at 71-73 with some sharpness. Nelson was one of the better movers at the event with feel for a quality three-pitch mix. There is upside in the infield background & younger look - pick to click candidate.
