LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG Southeast Uncommitted Prospect Showcase
RD Nelson is a 2028 LHP/1B/OF with a 5-10 150 lb. frame from Marietta, GA who attends Pope. Medium, young build with some compact strength and more to come. 7.27 runner in the sixty. Primary left-handed pitcher, works from the stretch from the third base side of the rubber. Quick leg lift start with a deep off-line arm path and a long stride out front. Releases the ball from an extended low 3/4 arm slot. Fastball showed natural sink and short arm-side run, topping out at 75 mph. Mixed in a fading changeup and softer curveball to mistime hitters. Secondary first baseman, showed some feel for his footwork around the bag and made quality turns. Tends to release the ball from a higher arm slot. Recorded arm strength up to 75 mph on throws across the diamond. Left-handed batter, starts in a wide, slightly open stance with a high back elbow and high hand set-up. Utilizes a simple trigger for timing before working into a shorter, slightly uphill bat path. Has developing bat speed and feel for adjusting the barrel. Gets too handsy at times. Produced line drive impact to the pull-side during batting practice. Power will continue to improve as he adds strength. Posted an exit velocity of 87 mph. Excellent student.
