Nate Wenzel is a 2020 1B/RHP with a 6-5 200 lb. frame from Mercer Island, WA who attends Mercer Island. Long and lean athletic build, very projectable physically. Right handed hitter, hits from a straight stance, upper body rotational swing with good balance throughout, looks to pull and lift the ball, has lots of leverage with his long limbs and showed his present power with a game home run. 7.74 runner, has nice athletic actions at first base defensively, quick turns on throws with lots of arm strength, soft hands out front fielding the ball, has quickness to his actions, will be an asset at the position defensively. Also pitched, works from the stretch with an abbreviated leg lift and a long and fast arm action in back leading to a 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped at 81 mph with lots of heavy sinking action, repeats his simple mechanics well, short slurve type curveball. Projectable athlete who should continue to get better with strength and repetitions. Good student. Named to the Northwest Prospect Showcase Top Prospect List.
