Scouting Report

6/14/16 - 60 Time: 7.15, Position Velocity:  OF-91, Exit Velocity: 96
6-foot-1, 200-pound RHH hits from a balanced stance, short stride, registered one of the top exit velocities of the event, strength generated bat speed, creates some lift and shows occasional power, can get to extension better at times, went 0-for-2 in game play with pull side contact. Plays through the ball with good athleticism, gets behind and works through fly balls, showed big outfield arm strength with carry and accuracy to the third base bag, runs well for size. Nelson is an interesting player with his strength and tools.
